Nations With The Most Deaths Per Million People

 

Covid-19 is a very weird disease. The table below is ranked by deaths per million.  New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts were hit first and very hard and still have the highest deaths per capita.  The next worse is currently North and South Dakota - states that are very rural and did not get hit badly until later. 

California - Arizona

The Day After Christmas

 

The graphs above show data from the world. It is clear that the Pandemic is worsening substantially. And because the number of cases in increasing very rapidly, it is very likely that the death rate will also increase very rapidly. 

The table below is taken from data from countries around the world. The USA has the 7th highest number of total cases per million people among the world's nations. And the countries with a higher rate are quite small, in some cases really city states, which because they live at a higher density are also likely to have more cases.

Some of the lower death rate can be attributed to our better more sophisticated health care system. But our number of cases is are going way up and is a leading indicator for deaths, which will likely follow the increase in cases.

_________________________________

We have Good News and Bad News about Covid. Sort of.

My table below:

As of Dec 15, 2020	USA	World	US Percent
Population	328,000,000	6,800,000,000	5%
Total Covid Deaths	303,968	1,680,000	18%
Total Covid Cases	16,800,000	73,000,000	23%
New Deaths Dec 15	2,957	13,228	22%
New Cases Dec 15	201,649	611,749	33%

The Bad News

The USA, affluent and well educated and with some of the best health care in the world, has a much higher percent of Covid cases and deaths than our percent of the world population.

The Good News

The world is not in as bad a shape as the USA.

Why?  Lots of reasons, but In my judgement inept leadership is near the top.

Data Sources:  New York Times, US Census

In 9.5 months Covid-19 deaths exceed the 3. 5 years total of World War II Combat deaths.  The annual monthly projection is much higher.
