As different countries are in different phases at different times... to be honest it's a bit of a meaningless stat. You can only really compare two countries if you compare the numbers for both at peak, which will not be in the same snapshot of time.

Was coming in to say this, we're currently at the very peak of what's been a pretty horrendous spike in infections so it's no surprise really
I highly doubt it will still be the case in a months time when lockdown will have brought rates down quite a bit
