It's not the numbers. At a population of 332 Million we are going to have more actual cases. But, using mortality, as in deaths per million, we are at number 10.

Coronavirus Update (Live): 113,635,332 Cases and 2,521,112 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer
With all the notice and warning the USA had, you should have been nowhere near the top of the list.
As for the UK, we, as usual, just F-upped with big time dithering in the initial stages, but lets face it, everyone is a genius with hindsight!
