I don't want to sound morbide but they should make a graph of the number of deaths.

It will pretty much looks the same as cases, just transposed 2 orders of magnitude.

No, it won't because every country has a different level of testing which also changes over time. In the NL for example you see 23 cases per death but in Germany you see the number of cases per death sliding down from >300 cases per death to 234 cases per death currently. And the areas in the NL and Germany with lots of infections are next to eachother (the virus got spread due to spring carnaval). IOW: the number of cases tells you absolutely nothing about how the virus is spreading.

Our government website MyGov failed today. The minister responsible for said it was a hacker's DOS attack which was complete and utter :bullshit:. The real cause was excessive demand that the site crashed. He got caught out and had to retract the lie. If the wankers cannot be honest, no-one will trust them which will just make matters worse. Centrelink today (the welfare payments government organisation) became a complete fiasco. The government even allowed a cruise ship load of people to disembark in Sydney without being tested and now they discover that some of the passengers had corona virus. An effing debacle if there ever was one.
Good planning, good management, good engineering, good decisions and good leadership is what we all need. The Australian federal government has failed on all counts. After this pandemic is over, they will be judged accordingly.
Those in the "Gig Economy" who have lost their jobs are being told to wait 5 weeks to get their first dole money. The politicians have legislated to allow the poor to dig into their retirement funds to get them through. These politicians on bloated salaries won't be digging into their overly generous taxpayer funded retirement funds to help them through. And I bet they won't be lowering the rents to those who rent their investment properties.
As for this little man armchair engineer, I will be donating time and money to help out those in more need than me. I suggest we all do a bit more beyond our normal giving or just what we might just do for ourselves.

Deaths per country - that could be tricky to report, see below countries with >1000 confirmed and <0.5% (an quick example only)..
thinkfat:
I wonder if all the countries demonststrating a linear increase of cases are basically showing their testing capacity only (Iran, for example). South Korea might be an exception.
Muttley Snickers:
To date we have had seven pass away in Australia which have been attributed to coronavirus, these were 3 males and 4 females. With all due respect the order and age are as follows: Male 78, Female 95, Male 82, Female 77, Female 90, Male 87, Female 81. :(
