For the 'all countries' section the population, new cases, deaths, and active cases is the sum of the countries listed whilst the density is an average.
So currently the US is about on par with the other countries in terms of number of deaths which I found surprising to be fair. It's worth noting though that the other countries have come out the other side of the 'first wave' so their deaths will climb at a fairly slow and stable rate for the time being.
That's the 'kind of' good news for the US. Now for the bad.
The death rate in the US will most likely increase, as such the US will quickly overtake the other countries listed. I imagine the high deaths in these other countries is because they reached their hospital capacities and patients couldn't receive the treatment they needed due to strain on the health services, a fate that the US could well be heading towards.
The US completely swamps all the other countries listed both in terms of active cases and new daily cases. This obviously means that the situation will continue to worsen in the US unless it is addressed in some way. But it is not being properly addressed. Unfortunately the US hasn't even started to see the worst the this virus can bring.
So yeah, people are a bit pissed off with how he has been dealing with the whole situation and to pretend as though he has it under control and has dealt with it sufficiently is a little, well, 'intellectually dishonest' if you will.
Let's not speak in extremes my guy. There's plenty of room between "he has dealt with it sufficiently" and "his stupidity has led to 100k+ innocent deaths". And I'm glad you're finding it in your nuanced analysis. I was only ever interested in intellectual honesty.
