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.

Not sure I'd fancy my chances in San Marino at the moment tbh.

The San Marino numbers aren't hugely significant due to the small sample size of only 21 deaths among a total population of 33400. So far as the virus transmission is concerned prior to quarantine, it's a town-sized state literally surrounded by Italy and is suffering a similar fate.

In the UK it currently seems as though most people die from it.
Look at "Closed Cases"

That looks similar to the pattern Italy has shown. No test coverage in the general public, only people who feel really sick go to the hospital and get tested, many of them part of a high-risk group, who are now dying quickly. Wasn't the plan to protect granny and granddaddy first and foremost?.
Deni:
The last patient that died here -> received in the hospital in poor condition, with cancer in terminal stage, no previous symptoms, not isolated, but out
of precaution tested for COVID, found positive, dies afer an hour and is now counted as COVID victim. I mean, really :palm: ? How many similar cases
are out there?
maginnovision:
Probably a lot. That's the point, this is REALLY bad for people with other issues.
Deni:
But the patient HAD NO SYMPTOMS, was just infected (as many of us most likely are, since various flu viruses are all around us) and died from cancer !
3 months ago nobody would count it as a COVID case. Bad data are worse that no data...
