I live in a sizeable country (not USA) that has a relatively low number of reported cases (they don't seem to test unless you're hospitalized).
Nonetheless, the normalized disparity between reported USA COVID deaths and this country's reported COVID deaths is approaching 1,000 to 1.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
Someone is lying big time, and it ain't here. The grapevine here is way too strong here to let COVID deaths go unknown.
I’m not sure what “normalizing” you are looking at, but the only one that would seem to make sense would be fatalities per 1M population. So, I took a look over on Worldometers, and there is only sizeable one country that falls in the range you state. (One other is significantly lower yet.) You seem disinclined to state the country’s name, so I’ll only say it is a well known Asian country (but not China). Ditto for the other country noted above.
This is NOT a valid comparison. Both these Asian countries mitigated very early, very strongly, and in ways (esp. with regards to contact tracing, privacy, and surveillance of the population) that are 10x past even a Biden Administration collective wet dream. This strongly affects the spread of the disease, which sees exponents in the equations that describe how a socio-biological phenomenon like COVID-19 behaves.
(This is roughly analogous to two similar fertile, shallow ponds, side by side. One has a few grass carp in it, the other does not. By mid summer, the 2nd pond is choked with weeds - an example of a period of exponential growth. The 1st pond is virtually weed free - a much bigger than even a 1000 to 1 difference in the weeds’ biomass. This happens because the grass carp ate virtually all the early weeds in the pond with the grass carp and the weeds never got established there beyond the carp’ ability to eat almost all of them. Therefor the exponential growth never happened there.)
OTOH, the fatality rate per known infection is a quite controversial number (coming from two numbers controversial themselves!), but still... A comparison of the fatality rate per known infection, for each country, produces the interesting result of 2.68% for the country you are in and 2.12% for the US: Not that much different.
Clarification to last post, last paragraph: Replace the word “known” with “reported”.
