Using per population, the U.S. isn't the worst country in managing COVID then.

Highest per capita cases are often found in states with smaller populations where testing may lead to more detected cases. The highest number of reported cases per 100,000 people is now found in Qatar (3,834), followed by French Guiana (2,587), Bahrain (2395), San Marino (2,024) and Chile (1849). Of the countries with the highest total case numbers, the United States of America have a count of 1,326 cases per 100,000 people (with a total of 4.4 million cases), followed by Brazil (2.6 million total, 1,201 relative), India (1.6 million total, 119 per capita).

And if we're going to use mortality, European countries are doing worse than the U.S.
The highest mortality rates (reported deaths per number of confirmed cases) are found in Yemen with 28.2%, followed by France (17.3%), United Kingdom (15.2%), Belgium (14.5%), Italy (14.2%) and Hungary (13.2%). Eleven countries have a mortality of 10% or higher.

So are you going to look at raw numbers, or per capita?
