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

The five most populous countries of the world.   

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?
