Statistical Anomaly

Johns Hopkins Hospital's website is keeping track of the COVID-19 numbers worldwide. This morning's statistics show at least one anomaly  -- the disparity between the Big 4 European nations' death rates and the U.S. death rate.

	Cases	Deaths	% Died
Italy	162,488	21,067	13.0%
Spain	177,633	18,579	10.5%
France	131,362	15,729	12.0%
U.K.	94,847	12,107	12.8%
Totals	566,330	67,482	11.9%
U.S.	609,685	26,059	4.3%

The difference is glaring, and I have to wonder "What's up with that?"

And I have to wonder why the news media haven't been chattering about it.
