It's hard to count dead Americans, there was a financial (and political) incentive in over-counting deaths and we probably conflated some deaths from different causes and we didn't know how to treat them in the hospital. IMHO the greatest factor is using steroids and non invasive methods instead of ventilators. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/06/why-is-it-that-while-covid-19-cases-are-rising-deaths-continue-to-fall https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/06/why-is-it-that... Recent studies point (some say 3 times the number of infected, others 6-24 times) in the direction that we severely undercounted the infected because of its asymptomatic nature in healthy individuals. Which means the death rate is nothing to cry about.
