The Death Rate? You mean how many hospitalized patients die, or how many people per capita die? The death rate (people that contact the virus and die)
is indeed lower in the USA, significantly so. The growth of deaths per capita though, is
also higher although now that the USA implemented finally the quarantines that other nations used by mid-March, you see a significant drop in the spread of the virus.
In the end, Trump let the virus run amok for 2-3 weeks more than other states. Those 2-3 weeks will cost the USA tens of thousands of cases and thousands of dead.
