This is where I got the table for the numbers of US deaths scaled to other countries’ responses, it’s based on the research of two epidemiologists (see the next link below): STAT, “How many needless Covid-19 deaths were caused by delays in responding? Most of them”
This is the key study, it’s by two epidemiologists who compare the US response to that of other countries to calculate how many lives could have been saved if the US Government had responded just 2 weeks sooner: New York Times, “The Huge Cost of Waiting to Contain the Pandemic”
This is also a helpful video for understanding logarithmic graphs: Vox, “How coronavirus charts can mislead us”
