According to the Worldometer, as of 8/4/2020 the United States has the 10th highest per capita COVID-19 case rate among over 200 nations surveyed.  No major nation has a worse rate.

The U.S. also has the 10th highest per capita COVID-19 death rate.  However, some major nations do worse:  The U.K., Spain and Italy.  

The U.S. track record is not clearly the absolute worst, but it is clearly $h!t and worst than most.



Just a general point, I don't think the figures at the moment for any nation match reality, I imagine there are at least 10x the number of cases. There has been a cover up in Iran of deaths (add 30K to the total) Furthermore, expect the UK figure to drop once the government has taken out suspected and non-contributing deaths, which they are currently reviewing.

UK death count down by 5000, after a review. Thats why you may see some odd UK numbers.

I tend to believe this is a genuine attempt to have accurate figures rather than massage the numbers. It made no sense that England counted differently to Scotland and Wales, and in fact most of the rest of the world.
