Canada had 1/3 of the number of people with covid, and just over 1/3 of the deaths you had. The difference being that we used the WHO tests, so we never had a problem with testing. We never ran out of PPE, and quickly and efficiently vaxxed 80% of our population.
Trump shipped all of your PPE to China in January of 2021 and didn't bother to keep any for American hospitals. He refused to use the WHO test because they owned the rights to the test and Americans couldn't profit from the tests.
Trump's handpicked head of the CDC botched the test roll out and you never had an effective American testing system thereafter. Trump finally decided to let the virus run and develop herd immunity - something that Dr. Faucci said would cost over a million Americans their lives, which is exactly what happened.
