Here are the nations with over 5 million population that have the lowest death-rates from the disease:

Cambodia (0)

Laos (0)

Burundi (1 per 12,015,509)

Taiwan (1 per 3,404,638)

Vietnam (1 per 2,790,141)

Papua (1 per 1,286,790)

Thailand (1 per 1,164,395)

Sri Lanka (1 per 487,406)

Niger (1 per 355,300)

Uganda (1 per 347,734)

Rwanda (1 per 326,650)

Mozambique (1 per 318,834)

Burkina Faso (1 per 315,011)

China (1 per 310,869)

DRC (1 per 286,454)

Benin (1 per 284548)

Singapore (1 per 209,535)

Ivory Coast (1 per 211,189)

South Sudan (1 per 190,525)

New Zealand (1 per 200,084)

Here are the U.S. states with the lowest death-rates from the disease:

Vermont (1 per 10,576; or .95 per ten thousand, or .095 per thousand)

Maine (1 per 8,617)

Alaska (1 per 7,951 — the explosion of the disease started only recently there)

Hawaii (1 per 6,378)

Oregon (1 per 5,723)

In order properly to understand these numbers (such as the low death-rates in some African countries), an important underlying variable is the median age of the land’s population, because, for example, the median age for Burundi is only 17, and, therefore, San Marino, where the median age is 44.4, is naturally likely to have a vastly higher death-rate from this disease. Apples should be compared with apples, not with oranges. However, the median age in Vermont is 42.8 (America’s third-highest), and in Maine is 44.9 (America’s highest), and yet both states have America’s lowest two death-rates from this disease; so, governmental policies and their public acceptance and enforcement can be even more important than is the physical population. Nature isn’t everything; nurture can be an even bigger determinant of success or failure.

 

I heard that in the US the government will give extra $2000 for Covid death cases. Therefore many hospitals are classifying death as Covid deaths.

Whereas in other countries the governments might suppress the real Covid death numbers and classify Covid deaths as natural deaths, to make them 'look good'.

 

In the case of vermont and maine I would go with population density..

and here is the joke...

I learned back when I was a kid... Vermont people hate, tourists even if they are in the tourist business. So no risk of them getting too close and talking for a long time.
