US Projection: 538,893 deaths 
 US Population: 331,845,9440.0016 ratio UK Projection: 118,674 deaths 
 UK Population: 67,886,0040.0017 ratio That's of course a projection. Actual data show this:  US Deaths/100K people: 84.7 
 UK Deaths/100K people: 91.2So, perhaps a little introspection is in order.

I suspect it is pretty comparable worldwide if the same criteria were used, and possibly adjusted for quality/quantity of healthcare. @Mik said in USA Covid Projections: I suspect it is pretty comparable worldwide if the same criteria were used, and possibly adjusted for quality/quantity of healthcare. I'd put in a "Western World" caveat. Asian countries are generally more capable of containing these things for a variety of reasons. I would also add in quality/quantity of testing and diagnosis and the standards of information. There seems to be some indication that we are counting cases of "Died with COVID" as "Died from COVID"

      If you want to compare our leaders' inactions, actions and speeches that's a different thread.

But we have learned a lot in recent years are catching up quickly.

But we have learned a lot in recent years are catching up quickly. Disagree with you a little bit there copper. I think the main difference is that in Asian countries, there is more of a “society” mindset, rather than an “individual” mindset. This makes it easier, to have rules like mask wearing, or something like that, which as is being seen in the US, I think it have hurt the overall response to Covid.

I would also look at age demographics, obesity and heart disease.
