Yes. And in the past 7 days there has been 1054 deaths in the UK. And using your own numbers, since the beginning of the pandemic the US has a death rate of 689 per 1,000,000 and the UK 652 per 1,000,000. That is statistically insignificant
652 is 94.63% of 689. A difference of more than 5% is generally considered to be "statistically significant" (except, of course, for the graduates of the BS (Statistics) program at The University of Numerology where "statistically insignificant" means "any data that I don't want to hear because it shows that what I am saying is a great, heaping, pile of fresh male bovine excrement".
[ASIDE - My apologies for introducing an abstract mathematical concept ("percentage") of which you may never have heard.
No, you are late to the conversation between snakey and myself. For months he has been bragging about how well the UK has done in comparison to us. And I have been repeatedly pointing out to him that his argument is similar to someone who is standing in fecal material up to their neck pointing at someone who is standing in fecal material up to their chin and saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah - you are standing is shit and that proves that I am not.".
