Among the many COVID stat visualization websites out there, are there any which actually provide that statistic?

Sure, as I've linked it here twice already:

https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Belgium is among the top three there too.

Also see on ft.com:

https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest

the "Death rates have climbed far above historical averages" graph.

and from Italy, made on March 16, 2020:

All of these also directly disprove "same as flu" narration. These are all in spite of most of the world having some kind of measures introduced.

NYT did something similar to what you are looking for https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/28/us/coronaviru...
