You're cherrypicking stats here and there, to come up with some random metric to define success; gotcha.
Denmark: 27,111 cases, 649 deaths.
Iceland: 2,623 cases, 10 deaths.
Finland: 9,682 cases, 340 deaths.
Germany: 286,339 cases, 9,464 deaths.
Norway: 13,698 cases, 270 deaths.
I'm ignoring New Zealand, because it's a statistical anomaly - it's a fucking island, very easy to quarantine an island...
I'd hardly call any of those countries stunning successes, with two having case counts in excess of ten thousand and Germany approaching 300k. Also, Germany has been a bit of a basket case with rolling lockdowns in various regions. As for economies doing well, what the fuck are you talking about? The world economy as a whole, has been teetering on the brink for quite some time now (because, things never actually recovered from 2008; I mean, we had central banks talking about negative interest rates months before COVID was even a gleam in scientists eye); this pandemic will push things over the edge. The question, though, is when will the house of cards come tumbling down, because at some point it has to. You can crow about the record highs on the stock market all you want, but when there's record unemployment and many people's only income is a government handout; what's so great about the economy?
Also, maybe check your numbers, because the US has not hit a million deaths; they have reached nearly 205,000, though. They do have the highest case load by a decent margin over India, at ~7.1 million. Mind you, I don't trust the numbers coming out of India at all...
