As might be expected, due to it’s population size, slow reaction and good reporting, the USA has sadly climbed to the top of two of our tables. They now report the most cases in the world and the most deaths in the world due to Covid19. At the moment, there is no sign of a slowdown so these figure are likely to continue to rise quickly. To date most of the cases have been in and around New York. If and when the virus spreads to the rest of the USA these figures will really escalate.
Italy and Spain are of course 2nd and 3rd in these tables. Interestingly though, Spain is deteriorating at a faster pace than Italy. Finally the situation in Italy may be becoming under control. Spain may be behind Italy in control and impact reduction. Both countries are already talking about loosening up the restrictions on trade and movement. Hopefully this is not too soon.
When You adjust the figures for population, things look decidedly different. The smallest nations with the highest population densities start to fare badly. San Marino looks particularly badly hit. If the figures are accurate, San Marino is showing a 0.1% fatality rate across it’s entire population. 1 in every 1000 people resident in San Marino has died of Corona Virus. Not for a particular demographic but for the entire population.
Of the larger nations, Spain, Italy and Belgium have a poor showing. The USA starts to show at No. 15 on the Deaths per 100k population” list. The likelihood is they will climb this table. The hope is that they will take control of the situation and keep their numbers low.
