      I would honestly like to see a reference to whatever study you’re quoting. Because all the data I’ve looked at clearly shows the US getting hit harder by COVID than anywhere else.

      We’re #1 in both infections and deaths. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093256/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-deaths-worldwide-by-country/

      Over 100 million cases of it have been documented here, with over 1.1 million deaths. This also places us at the second highest of per capita deaths in the world under one country: Peru.

      Our COVID death rate accounts for 1/6 of the total world deaths from COVID.

        Sorry, not deaths but educational outcomes. And I think they’re related. Other countries that locked down harder had a lower death rate but the kids weren’t being educated as well.
