Do you suppose that might be because we have more tests to check for confirmed cases? More tests equals more confirmed cases. How many people do you think get checked in India? What about Spain, number 30 population and second most number of confirmed cases, or Italy, number 23 by population but third in number of cases. Pretty meaningless data, all things considered.
No. USA most recent figures are 3.2 tests per 100,000 population (near the bottom of the barrel). Canada is at a lousy 8 per 100 k, and some countries are at 16 per 100 k. Unfortunately I did not bookmark the page.
I did find this:
