First, let’s take a look at the total confirmed deaths of the ten worst-hit countries in descending order (based on the numbers from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University as of 9:30 am ET May 24).
1. USA (96,046)
2. UK (36,757)
3. Italy (32,735)
4. Spain (28,678)
5. France (28,218)
6. Brazil (22,013)

5. France (28,218)
6. Brazil (22,013)
7. Belgium (9,280)
8. Germany (8,275)
9. Iran (7,417)
10. Netherlands (5,841)
But, here’s what happens when you adjust these numbers per capita. The following countries are arranged in descending order by their coronavirus death rate per million people (based on population data from The CIA World Factbook).

So much misinformation is out there about this. That someone actually has to explain this is the real issue. So many people have been dumbed down they have completely lost any ability to think. Just like making the false claim that Covid 19 has a higher death rate. There is no way to determine yet if it does or doesn't this because of under reporting. The cases that go undiagnosed have to figure into any equation to get any accuracy in a death rate.
Same with saying this causes more severe illness. That happens with any infection just as any infection can and does cause long term health problems with some people. It's just they are hearing about it now so it seems to them this is worse.
what I've most come away with from this virus is just how many dumbed down people surround us.
There's something very wrong about all of this. The timing, the lying, the numbers; all of it smells something awful.
For some reason I find it odd China is not in the top 10 in total deaths. Perhaps their data collection is a bit, um, slow.
"But, here’s what happens when you adjust these numbers per capita. The following countries are arranged in descending order by their coronavirus death rate per million people (based on population data from The CIA World Factbook).
Belgium (791.76)
Spain (573.38)
UK (558.95)
Italy (524.58)
France (415.90)
Sweden (391.87)
Netherlands (338.01)
Ireland (309.86)
USA (288.74)
Switzerland (226.80)
It makes an amazing difference, doesn’t it? The United States dropped from number 1 to number 9 once you adjusted for population."
And then there's NYC.
Still cherrypicking by one disease, when these "statistics" are taken from hospitals writing "C" on heart attack victims' death certs! We compared ALL DEATHS on May 1&3 and found lower numbers than in the last 3 years!
Let's get real...
5% of the worlds population , 25% of the deaths.
Need i say more?
Good point. When you put it that way it really highlights just how badly our federal government failed in it’s response to this pandemic.
This just goes to show how easy it is to mislead people with statistics. People need to wake up and think about what It is they are being told before just blindly accepting it as fact. The truth is the US LAGS, not leads the world in Covid-19 cases per capita, just like it LAGS, not leads the world in Covid-19 testing per capita. Wake up people!
