#11 out of about 200 countries. What differentiates the US from the major countries in the top 10 is that the US has done very little to prevent spread of the virus in the past weeks, meaning that going forward, things will be far worse in the US. Compare the graphs of the major countries (i.e., not San Marino, Andorra, North Macedonia and other small countries) in the top 10, and then the US: 1. Belgium: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/belgium/#graph-cases-daily https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/belgium/#g... 4. Italy: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/#graph-cases-daily https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/#gra... 6.

UK: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/#graph-cases-daily https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/#graph-... 11. USA: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/#graph-cases-daily https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/#graph-... In contrast to Belgium, Italy, Spain and the UK, the US is letting the virus spread largely unchecked, and there has been massive resistance to even the most basic measures to control the spread. Finally, it's worth noting that individual US states have been worse hit than individual European countries listed above. New Jersey and Belgium have similar populations, but New Jersey has had more deaths/capita. As the number of new cases continues to fall in Belgium and rise in New Jersey, that difference will widen.
