While speaking about the deaths per 1m population we also have to look at the average age and especially percentage of population above something like 70 years.

USA as example is way younger than Italy, Spain, Germany and so on...

The number of deaths per 1m population isn't really telling the whole story.

Turkey as example is pretty close to Germany (both around 83m people) but there are probably 5x as many people above 70 in Germany.

USA has Like 5.5x as many people as Italy but probably only 3x as many above 65 and maybe only 2x as many above 75

But many politicians in younger countries won't speak about that while mentioning how awesome they handle it. It's not "we handle it so so awesome" If you simply have much less old people per 1m population.
