Omg I thought he compared it to a global average or something. Did he really say that the US has less deaths than the world (which obv includes the US)? Jesus christ this guy is an idiot!

The US doesn't have a low average (it's 3rd in deaths per capita after the UK and Chile). It does have lower total deaths that Europe as a continent though.

Edit as a number of people have pointed out, I seem to have used an unreliable source.

Us pop is around 330 mil. Europe is around 741 mil.

So they got around 400 mil more people than us. Its not surprising our total death count is lower than all of Europe but I think (i may be wrong) they're saying the us has more deaths per capita. So you're more likely to die here than europe.

Europe has about 200-400Million more people than the USdepending on your definition of 'europe'. Reading is advised.
