According to the source you cite (worldometers), the per-capita death toll for Belgium is 849 per 1M. That's the second-highest in the entire world, after San Marino (1,238).
By contrast, according to the same site you linked[0], the per-capita death toll for New York is 1,686 per 1M. That's twice as high as Belgium, and higher even than San Marino.
