Thank you for taking the time to detail exactly what I was referring to. You nailed it.
Actually, any comparison that does not take population into consideration fundamentally misleading - like comparing the US vs. Italy. The US has 5.5 times the population of Italy, but we don't even have twice their death toll. On a per capita basis - the only real comparison - we are doing much better than them.
If you want to make fair comparisons, add the death tolls and number of cases of Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and the UK COMBINED. Together, those five countries have 324M people. The US has 328M people. That is comparing apples to apples.
The US is doing much better than those five countries. Look at the stats here:

We are probably doing better because we closed off travel to China much sooner.

Still want to see the real numbers from China. That would be a benchmark worth knowing. Wonder if the WHO is working on that?

And the WHO is doing nothing right now but whining about not having their "sugar daddy - The US" there to pay for the incompetence.
