That should be obvious; the major EU nations hit hard by the virus so far are Spain, Italy, France and Germany. Russia is the 5th one with a rapidly-expanding crisis, but whose case numbers may be inflated by a large number of tests being made there. The smaller nations of course also have a smaller number of cases. Sweden used the herd immunity strategy and has more cases and deaths than Norway and Denmark where cases are no longer expanding very much. All together the USA has now more cases than all of the LSE, and as I said, the rate of new cases and deaths in the USA are far higher, so the gap will increase. Trump USA is the epicenter of the virus and the shame of the world.
The brexited UK also has expanding cases, since it began treating the virus with herd immunity instead of quarantines and shutdowns; a strategy which almost killed its Trump-clone leader who declared the strategy. It has now passed Germany, the most populous EU country, which used a testing and shut-down strategy and has far fewer deaths than the other major EU countries or the UK. The high number of cases recorded in Germany also reflected the higher number of tests made there.
The USA so far has fewer cases per capita made than the EU countries, and if testing is ever ramped up in the USA, that will further inflate the case numbers but may decrease the daily death count.
