we've been still accounting for about 16% of global COVID deaths. start
And you know this is almost 100% due to our massive, Manhattan Project/Apollo Program level testing program, right?
If everyone tested "honestly" to the level we did (*cough*, China lying, *cough* India), we would likely be below proportional deaths because our health care system gets far better outcomes, all other things considered than anyplace in Africa or Latin America, most places in Asia, etc.
Just saying.

Countries can game the system through minimal testing and reporting (e.g. Russia listing COVID as underlying conditions and GEOTUS himself has said he'd like it if we would test less, presumably so fewer known cases will benefit his re-election prospects).
But excess death numbers essentially control for differences in testing and thus are are harder to bullshite since deaths are more checkable. FT hasn't updated these for the US since mid-June and these have different date cut-offs, so it's still rough, but you can see we were starting to bring things under control in mid-June. I expect these numbers will have climbed again when they update.
