The two have similar architecture until mid-February, 2021. Since then the U.S. clearly has done a far better job.
Deaths Worldwide:
Deaths U.S.:
Similarly, the Deaths graphs look similar until about the same time, mid-February, and then worldwide Deaths climbed while U.S. Deaths have been on a happy downslide.

560,000 Americans have been killed by COVID-19. The last mass-death pandemic was the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu. It killed about 675,000 in the U.S. COVID has killed an average of 1,307 Americans every single day since Feb. 6, 2020. I'm going to assume 900 Deaths per day from here on for this calculation. On August 17, 2021 COVID Deaths in the U.S. will have surpassed the 675,000 killed by the Spanish Flu more than a century ago. To realize that a century's advances in science and medicine have gone for naught is to realize we're just not that good.
