Death rate per infection is a statistic skewed by many things including number of tests performed, percentage of deaths that are from nursing homes (most likely to die), and how good your Doctors are.
Death rate per capita is best for judging a country's success in combating a pandemic.

If you have a known number of deaths, and a known number of infected, the rate is real. You keep discounting nursing homes like those people aren't real. But your per capita reasoning also relies on the unknown numbers while the death per infection rate relies on actual posted numbers, real or not.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
