The USA CMR is a bit more than a third the UK. Belgium is beating the USA in pretty much every number, in a bad way. If you take the EU as a whole it's total population is similar to the USA, with some countries doing very well, like some states, and others are a trainwreck, like some states.

To reinforce this point, the USA CMR (based on adult population) is 5.848% and North America as a whole is 6.06%. The global figure is 6.172% and Europe is at 8.75% with several countries over 10.0 - including the UK, Sweden, Italy, France and Belgium.
