However, if you look at the chart in the "deaths per 1 million pop" column you'll see that there are many countries that are worse off and better off than the US, at this time. Since the rates are changing constantly we will need to see when they start to level off. San Marino has 1,032, the highest in the world. Don't forget that some countries are lying about their numbers too (like the US still is).
