They are close to having double as many deaths as the next country.
For arguably the most advanced, richest and powerful nation in the world, that is really embarrassing and just reflects so badly on the Trump administration.

Where are you getting your numbers from?
This site has total US Civilian & Military deaths as 418,500.
280,000 is 67% of that number.
The numbers at worldometer.com are slightly worse: 290,443 deaths in the US. If worldometer is correct, based on the current (rising) 7-day average (2,262/day) deaths, the US will surpass the number of WWII deaths on Wednesday, February 3rd.
