This is not correct, at least not at the moment. In terms of deaths per million at the moment, Brazil is very high (about 11 per million per day, or something like 2,500 deaths per day) only exceeded by its neighbours in the southern cone of South America. (This is likely a seasonal thing, as they are just entering into their winter, whereas most countries in the north are just coming up on summer.) India is lower, but still has now exceeded the United States at 3 per million per day, or about 4,000 deaths per day, though the pandemic is only just getting started there.
