Per capita, of the 20 most affected nations, we're 4th in mortality, behind UK, Peru, and Chile. If you broaden it to include all nations, we're 8th (Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Sweden would be ahead of us).
So, broaden your statement to include veracity of reported numbers (I find it interesting that China was not on your list at all) and then explain why, despite being 3rd in population we are 8th in deaths, despite obvious questions regarding the validity of the reported figures from many nations.
