Note that this data is the absolute number of deaths, not accounting for population size. This is what it looks like when you add "Europe":

Uzbekistan - GDP per capita $2,667
Tajikistan - GDP per capita $1,271
Kyrgyzstan - GDP per capita $1,922
Ukraine - GDP per capita $5,663
Meanwhile:
US - GDP per capita $85,373 (LOL)
To compare apples to apples you'd want:
US vs EU
to make it somewhat comparable, or maybe even better:
US (334m) vs Germany (83m) + France (67m) + UK (67m) + Italy (59m) + Spain (48m) = 324m people
If you don't believe me, compare the GDPs per capita of "the richest and most sophisticated EU countries" versus Mississippi and West Virginia.
Hint: the "sophisticated" EU countries are poorer.
Comparing ANY US state (average: $85,373) with Tajikistan ($1,271) would be a travesty.
GDP per capita, PPP[0]:
Turkey: $41,881
Spain: $50,472
Slovenia: $51,407
UK: $56,836
Germany: $66,038
Denmark: $74,958
Norway: $82,264
Ireland: $137,638
Luxembourg: $143,304
The difference between New York (the highest US state by per capita GDP, ~$91,000) and Ireland is larger than the difference between Mississippi and a per-capita GDP of literally zero.
You also didn't address my Tajikistan comment, because you know you're but won't admit it.
The scale of "GDP per capita and how people are living" is roughly this:
At a "GDP of literally zero" you're DEAD.
At a GDP of 1k, you can afford a cheap bicycle.
At a GDP of 10k, you can afford small, old, beat up and unsafe cars.
At a GDP of 30k, you can afford almost all modern amenities, they'll just be smaller, older, have fewer features.
At a GDP of 80k you can do whatever the hell you want if real estate expenses aren't killing you.
So no, you can't freely compare a country at 10k with one at 80k and try to bail out the comparison with PPP.
And the difference between 1 billion and 1 billion 30k is 1 billion. Percentages matter, thresholds matter. The person having 1 billion 30k doesn't have a materially different life to the person having 1 billion. The person having 30k is reasonably well off, the person having 0 is dead. The person having 40k is also reasonably well off while the person having 10k is poor (and NOT US poor, world standards poor; which BTW, is about the global average, which makes the average person in the world poor by modern development standards).
