That doesn't contradict anything I've said or support what I was replying to.

But it does show that you cherry-picked data that didn't give the full story. The follow up comment only made things more clear, which I think you should appreciate.
I didn't cherry pick, I was in fact exhaustive. I was looking for cases that supported "most of highly-developed Europe is doing much worse than the USA" and specifically mentioned Germany. I looked at the specific cases mentioned and any others that could be classified as "much worse".
You completely ignored the current situation in Europe, which is what I was referring to.
I agree, I just wanted to make it extra clear for others how several large European countries seem to have numbers similar to the US (Ironically... I could have phrased it in a way that made that more clear to you.)

It seems to me that all remaining levels and sub-sectors of American society have responded reasonably competently, despite the grossly negligent and incompetent response (potentially even criminal?) from the administration.
