Please see my post on the proper relative comparison of deaths across the world, adjusting for timing and population differences.

As I wrote elsewhere, the US is right where you'd expect:

-Those countries with adjusted low case counts like Austria, Portugal, and Denmark have dutiful citizens that respond well to the demands of the common good over their individuality.

-Those countries with high case counts have surrendered their individuality and national identity to mob rule.

It's a bit like gun control: we’ll never have zero cases in America because we’re crazy individualists who distrust authority and love freedom. That means we'll usually run a little hotter on things like crime. But we won’t be like the UK and Italy and Belgium and their yuge relative death count.

“because we’re crazy individualists who distrust authority and love freedom.“

Yep in a truly free country you need to value freedom above safety.
