Why is it that the United States numbers for both cases and deaths of COVID-19 are higher than anywhere else in the world? The known number of cases is higher than anywhere else and we can assume we have way more unknown cases as well due to lack of testing. What did the other countries do that US did not? Did other countries have stricter stay home orders or did they implement them much sooner? And is the number of deaths for the United States higher than other countries simply because we also have more cases? Or is there something else going on leading more people to die?
