I ran the numbers again.
The population of the United States of America is approximately 9 times as large as the population of Canada. Both countries share the same continent, have similar border controls in place, and have the same access to testing; you won't find any two countries with more similar conditions, not counting the political response in each country.
According to Wikipedia, as of May 28, Canada has had 88,468 cases and 6,873 deaths.
By simple math - multiply the Canada numbers by 9 - the United States of America would have had 796,212 cases and 61,857 deaths if the USA was practising the same pandemic prevention measures as Canada.
According to Wikipedia, as of May 28, the United States of America has had 1,746,585 cases with 102,391 deaths.
Twice as many cases and one-and-a-half times as many deaths, adjusted for population.
Somebody in the USA is doing something that's killing Americans.
