These graphs are meaningless. At best, it shows how thorough testing is done. Smaller states like Luxemburg, Andorra, Vatican, Switzerland, etc, will always be high on these graphs, as it simply takes less tests to get a good idea. A good example is Ecuador where people are dying left, front, right and back. That country wuld probably in the top three in those graphs. African states are anyone's guess. And the muslim countries as a whole where religion plays a key role as well (Iran being the exception but they are screwed anyways so no reason to hide numbers).
The USA is obviously looking good because too many elderly people simply can't afford a walk to the hospital or even a test so they die at home (officially counted of old age). We would have to compare daily/weekly average death rates in the past decades with current death rates to get an idea. Then agan, (greatrly reduced) pollution plays a role in those statistics, too.
