Look up confirmation bias. I don't believe all, even capitalized, is strictly accurate.

Other possible reasons for the large percentage in the US:
- Not the highest ratio in the world (top 10? maybe)
- Higher population density in areas of the US that are spiking
- Mis-steps in the beginning (NY nursing homes among others)
- No lockdowns (I don't want to live in a country with police on every corner asking for my papers if I leave my house)
- Poor counting in some countries
- Generally obstinate
- Too many "experts" demanding something today then something different tomorrow
- Fake news (from all sides) driving a lack of compliance (and common sense)
- US love of freedom - Don't Tread on Me - Just leave me the h**l alone
