GR, you make a compelling argument that no western country was really able to respond quickly and contain the virus.
However, the US government is also responsible for fighting the pandemic. The metric that seems to have the least noise is COVID deaths per million population. According to this graph: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily...RA+JPN+AUS
