Until the Delta wave hit the usa this fall, the USA was just below Italy and the UK in deaths per Capita and just above France and Spain. And it was only on the last month that the USA deaths passed Belgium's.
It now leads among all those countries but the USA is notably a country of sick and fat people with no health care, so even being in the ballpark of other rich euro countries is significant. Germany is the only real outlier that actually handled things differently

I do not know what other countries are doing but from my roommate, who's sister is in Germany, the authorities take masking very seriously.

I scanned the paper for my morning crack ping, and the adjusted ratio is lower - what was it adjusted for? Age and Sex. Sorry Dad/Grandpa, to the grinder you shall go!

Also this was mostly pre-vax and transition from OG to Alpha and then a little Delta. Anyways probably not fair to say it is the same but especially with a dozen more variants to go, only your respirator trust imo

By day 2 all 200 were infected

By day 3 all 200 were pro vaccine, but it was too late.

You can look at heart disease, cancer deaths etc and extrapolate from them based on % of smokers in the US but smoking-related deaths have been going down for over twenty years now and obesity is set to overtake smoking as the primary cause of cancer in the next year or two.
