For example, Spain and Germany have vastly different numbers of total deaths to date (4089 vs 253, respectively), but have 56k vs. 42k confirmed cases, respectively.

And in the last 2 weeks the US has had a fairly flat average death rate, which is certainly not directly proportional to the increasing # of confirmed cases.

"Fairly flat" isn't how I'd define the US Covid-19 death rate, given the graphs compiled by these folks:

I remember I had a high power laser unit with a huge power supply the size of a small microwave oven in the class.  We had 10 people in the class and the teacher ditched the class.  We were seating there doing nothing.  Instead of playing with the laser, we hold hands daisy chain together.   One guy holding the positive and the other guy holding the negative of that huge power supply.  We turned on the power supply and see who let go his/her hands first.  What an electric shock.
