World's five most populous countries and their COVID-19 death toll


Look at their populations vs their COVID-19 death tolls.

China-1.4B—3,331 deaths
India-1.3B---136 deaths
USA—0.37B—10,764 deaths
Indonesia—0.26B—209 deaths
Brazil—0.21B—553 deaths

China’s death toll is understandable.  It started there and for almost a month nobody knew what was going on.
But why is the US death toll so high, especially when compared to India and Indonesia?
