S. Korea and Vietnam come to mind. In the Western world, Greece comes to mind.
None of them is spiraling, and none of those 3 nations has come anywhere close to what's happened in the UK or US. It would take some kind of huge climate event to change the ratios, IMO.
There's no way around it. BTW, if you look around the internet, there are charts that also give length of time that CoVid has been present in a nation. Peru and Brazil started late, but managed to have tons of CoVId, but S. Korea and Vietnam started having CoVid at the same time as Belgium or UK or US (perhaps even a bit earlier) but with much better stats in terms of deaths.

Peru is, of course, still out of control. India doesn't even make the top 10, in terms of per capita. It does make the charts in terms of total cases, of course - and will almost certainly "win" that contest - as it is the largest nation in the world that isn't China.
