I guess it's somewhat futile to compare numbers or even ratios of different countries since it's unclear how many people are tested and how many infected/dead are actually reported. Today the number of 410k totally tested was published in Germany, but at the same time our leading Corona expert claimed that 500k people would be tested per week while the number of a maximum of 160k tests per week was claimed only some days ago and now a number of up to 360k tests per week being possible was given by the public health insurance organization. Anyway, the number of tested is very high in Germany, while I would assume it's rather low in countries like Iran. Actually, if I understand the numbers of the CDC correctly, even in the USA only around 100k tests were performed up to now. And of course it's highly questionable if illiberal states publish reliable numbers. |

What is an illiberal state? |

Guess that depends on your point of view. In my humble opinion, e.g. Russia would fall into this category among many other countries where there is no free press or independent jurisdiction. |

This is gigantic. --- End quote --- https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries now has a deaths/1M pop column in their charts, saving you from doing the math. Italy and Spain are way ahead of everyone else by that measure. --- End quote --- Not sure I'd fancy my chances in San Marino at the moment tbh. |
