Your data is wrong. You confirmed your bias successfully, but you failed to find accurate data. Could you find accurate data if you needed to, or are you only able to find data you want to? I wonder.
I don’t know why the OECD data is wrong, maybe it’s just not a very robust data set.
In any event, South Korea has the best ICU bed count per capita of any major Asian country at 10.6 per 100,000: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338520008_Critical_Care_Bed_Capacity_in_Asian_Countries_and_Regions

Germany has 29, Italy has 12: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00134–012–2627–8

The United States has 34: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4351597/

I could go on and provide other accurate data for ventilators and critical care facilities, if you’re intellectually curious, or you’re for some reason again unable to independently confirm my claims.
