Yes, Canada's population is about 11% of the USA's population. So converting to make things fairer.

Canada: 1,092,438 equivalent Covid-19 cases

And nearly 50,000 of those deaths were in New York and New Jersey where the governors and a mayor ordered Covid-19 infected patients into nursing homes, so it could spread among the most vulnerable. (Several northeast states made this order.)
But even taking all deaths in the U.S., most of them effect those in an age group where the yearly mortality rate is about 4% (in other words, the old and frail and those in hospice, nursing homes or home care), you're still looking at a .04% or .05% of the nation's population dying from Covid-19. So even a small percentage of those who are dying anyhow. This means you have a 99.95% chance of NOT dying from Covid-19 in the U.S. And if you're not in the at-risk groups, that percentage is even much higher. The hype is WAY overblown for political reasons.
EDIT: To show how over-hyped Covid-19 is, there was a recent poll taken, which asked "What percentage of Americans have died from Covid-19?" 9% got the most votes. That's about 33 million people they think have died from Covid-19. But who can blame them, there's constant drum beat of "panic porn" spread about the virus.
