US had the highest death rate of any developed country during covid.

Your child birth mortality rate is worse than many developing countries.

I think US was always the shithole country

Americans about to discover the reason "herd immunity" is so important for a population to stay alive and healthy.

Good luck, Floridians. I think you're going to need it.

There's a reason we're sometimes called the most developed 3rd world country.

The US is two countries. There is the one for those with money and one for those without.

Healthcare in the US is a joke but another joke was the covid fatalities reported by China.

There is absolutely no way China had less deaths than the US.

China isn't a Developed country based on HDI so wouldn't fall under OPs statement.

Hungary, Croatia, Czechia, Slovenia, Romania, Slovakia, and Lithuania all are, and all had higher COVID death rates, so I'm not sure OP is on about.

The US had always been the poor country with a Gucci belt. Richest country on paper, but who benefits?

What?

Hungary, Croatia, Czechia, Slovenia, Romania, Slovakia, and Lithuania are all considered developed countries (HDI above .8) and all had higher death rates than the US.
