Those living in the west and, more specifically the USA, are more mobile, they travel more and are therefore more likely to infect others or be infected by others traveling to the USA.
Another way of looking at your 4% of the world population, 20% of the world death total example. Maybe the rest of the world under reported deaths? It's possible the lockdowns may have worked elsewhere? Maybe the rest of the world took it more seriously? Maybe the rest of the world was fundamentally healthier? Who knows why but alot of people died that didn't have to. It was unfortunate. Many of us lost family members. Imagine how bad the data must have been for the then current administrations at the state and national level that they began panicking.
It was and still is very real and the anti mask, anti vaccine crowd never bothered me. It was troubling but those choosing to exercise their perceived right to not comply didn't really affect me to my knowledge. I admittedly, however, avoided tractor pulls, MAGA rallies and gun shows so that might explain some of my lack of stress. Peace to all and good health.
