I suppose if you remove Spain's initial infection back from March, they look like the world leader too.....
Unfortunately, that isn't how this works.
I see you don't like talking about Hawaii and Japan anymore.

No need to worry about any state or country that has issued mask mandates. Infection is impossible with masks.
Literally impossible.
Oh crap!

Are deaths no longer a lagging stat? Are you gonna make the argument that deaths won't increase proportionally to cases rising?

With respect to cases, a lot turns on how much testing is going on.
Let's say that Country A is reporting 10 times as many cases on a per capita basis as Country B. It is hard to know what that means without more information on testing. Either the number of tests or the positivity rate.

the useful piece of information for evaluating the recent increases in testing is daily tests or daily positivity rate

It would also be nice to know who is being tested. Are they all showing symptoms? 50% showing symptoms?

Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor who was recently battling a coronavirus infection, said on Thursday that he was “wrong” not to wear a mask at an event honoring Judge Amy Coney Barrett and in his debate preparation sessions with President Trump, and that people should take the threat of the virus seriously.
In an interview with The New York Times and in a written statement, Mr. Christie said that he had believed he was in a “safe zone” at the White House while he was there. He urged people to follow best practices, like mask wearing and social distancing, but argued there’s a middle ground between extensive, large-scale shutdowns and reopening cities and states without taking proper precautions.
yup...the choice is not between shutdowns and doing nothing...as some like to pretend

Mr. Christie said he had spent days in the intensive care unit of the Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey, after taking himself there on Oct. 3 at the insistence of his doctor.
“I believed when I entered the White House grounds, that I had entered a safe zone, due to the testing that I and many others underwent every day,” Mr. Christie said in the statement. “I was wrong. I was wrong not to wear a mask at the Amy Coney Barrett announcement and I was wrong not to wear a mask at my multiple debate prep sessions with the president and the rest of the team.”
“I hope that my experience shows my fellow citizens that you should follow C.D.C. guidelines in public no matter where you are and wear a mask to protect yourself and others,” he said.
Unlike Mr. Trump, who has posited that he feels like “Superman” and left the hospital as quickly as possible, Mr. Christie said that the virus is “something to take very seriously. The ramifications are wildly random and potentially deadly.”
Mr. Christie was released from the hospital on Oct. 10, and has now been cleared to have regular contact with others, he said. He was treated with a combination of blood thinners, the Ebola drug remdesivir and an experimental antibody cocktail produced by Eli Lilly. That drug trial was recently paused over safety concerns.
He said that he still suffers from some fatigue, but nowhere near the levels he did when he was first sick.
