Sorry for the slow response, I wanted to investigate the data before responding — Here is a chart listing their cumulative mortality, from the OECD dataset. Measured as fractions of their current populations. This chart assumes all COVID deaths are excess (which undercounts real excess). USA pop: 334,814,000 AUS pop: 26,479,000 https://zmichaelgehlke.com/images/mortality/covid-mortality-comparison.png https://zmichaelgehlke.com/images/mortality/covid-mortality-... Total excess is pink; COVID deaths (total) are orange; non-COVID attributable excess is blue. A few points: - COVID deaths are about 4x lower, but excess deaths around 3x - there’s more non-COVID attributable excess than COVID deaths in AUS - the USA has higher per capita expected mortality than AUS, as well; by about 1.5x See here: https://zmichaelgehlke.com/images/mortality/all-mortality-comparison.png https://zmichaelgehlke.com/images/mortality/all-mortality-co... I’m not sure I’d count this to interventions, which when directly measured seem to provide lower benefits, versus the fact US healthcare is questionable and the US unhealthy in ways dangerous during COVID — as measured by expected mortality being higher.
