> The operative words you seem to be missing are "at the end of this", but fine. Okay, how about I just say no, at the end of this the USA won't have the most deaths per capita of industrialized nations. Amazingly my claim has just as much, if not more, basis than the original claim. Glad we settled it. > Does that ratio seem like cause for concern? Belgium (2.1 more) UK (1.6 times more) Spain (1.5 times more) Italy (1.43 times more) Sweden (1.3 times more) France (1.1 times more) have more deaths per capita than USA. Every death is concerning (I guess some people are not clear on this), but the per capita deaths of the USA is not anomalous. Given the data we have I would say the most likely situation is that developing and least developed countries are either not being exposed to the same levels as industrialized countries or just not as good at tracking and reporting deaths as opposed to just having a lower actual mortality rate. That being said some areas in the USA, like New York, clearly just completely botched their handling of the pandemic what with sending sick old people back into frail care facilities. I hope at the end of this whoever made that policy is brought up on murder charges.
