Uk and france have double the U S rate of new infections. Spain a whopping 5 times our rate.

About 30 countries now have higher daily new infections than us. So many inept countries with trumpers leading them.

They are higher but nowhere close to the numbers you stated, according to your own link. Not even in the same universe. We often run behind them by a few weeks and we'll see if we overtake them again, but they sure DID have a nice summer without a second wave unlike US.

Are you looking at new daily cases? Cause I think I was accurate on that reasonably well

Face it. You're a COVID denier and therefore wrong about everything. There is now one universal truth in the world and that is that anyone who seeks to dispute anything that the enlightened, woke, compassionate, wise and tolerant left says is a puppet of Russia and can't be trusted to stay in out of the rain, much less anything else.

I feel for them. Not as much as I would if they hadn't tried to act like America failed under Trump to control the virus. Different places have different dynamics. Ultamately they made the same mistake that most places made, including the US---they believed the hype about masks working so it was okay to reopen. They don't. Extreme social distancing is the only thing that works.

I don't think lockdowns help that much above distancing. And the cost is staggering.
