By my estimation at least 200,000 deaths were due to SLOW / DELAYED reaction to Covid. Remember the delayed acceptance of the Covid vaccine. That killed a lot of Americans. Remember that in some midwestern states only 50% of the eligible adults got their 1st shot. That was a DELAY. Countries like Australia and New Zealand reacted right away - they had experience with Pandemics before. They mandated restrictions and then got close to 100% shot acceptance when shots were available.
If someone says that the US reacted rapidly to the Covid Pandemic, they are engaging in revisionist history - like they do often in countries like Russia.

They tried to block travel from China in the first month, fer chrissakes!
But some folks screamed "racism" and the plans were scrapped...
Where was the vaccine initially available? Oh, right, the US...
All the body bags (and ventilators) that were never used?
The Hospital ship that was rushed to NYC and never used? The huge field hospital that was never used?
How, pray tell, do you come up with your "estimate" of 200K deaths?
People not taking the vaccine was not a "delay" by those in the government.
Australia and New Zealand are ISLANDS, which could easily control who came in and out...
Your comparisons are invalid...
