Now divide by population, 5 million for NZ, 25 million for Australia and 330 millions for the US.

Currently NZ has the equivalent of 2000 US deaths a day, Australia 1300 US deaths a day and the US has 500.

I see, you're looking at "Daily new confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people" which has a 7-day rolling average.

So, basically, during the last week or so, NZ had roughly 25 deaths per day whereas AUS had 50-70 per day in that week.

My apologies for not interpreting the data correctly.

The data still disproves your narrative. That one graph does have AUS at 2x NZ in a few key dates but overall no.

I'm going to stop arguing about this. I think the utility of further discussion has already diminished to the point of minimal reward.
