I guess I’ll be doing this post every week for a while.
It is difficult to compare the various country, and now state coronavirus statistics ... since they are so far apart in the big tables. So, once again, I have taken some time to put together some of the critical measures (Tests per million, Cases per million and Deaths per million) for some key countries (USA, Sweden, Norway, Italy, South Korea, Germany) .... and states (California, Massachusetts, New York and Florida) one week after my first comparison. Here are the numbers as of May 15, 2020 ... see: Latest Data for verification. (If you check after 5/15/2020, the numbers will change.)
Tests per million
USA 32,166
Sweden 17,590
Norway 39,266
Italy 46,426
South Korea 14,177

California 27,957
Massachusetts 61,568
New York 67,035
Florida 28,382
Cases per million
USA 4,407
Sweden 2,832
Norway 1,513
Italy 3,689
South Korea 215
Germany 2,089
California 1,897
Massachusetts 11,923
New York 18,155
Florida 2,012
Deaths per million

Norway 43
Italy 519
South Korea 5
Germany 95
California 77
Massachusetts 795
New York 1,410
Florida 87
Do you believe the numbers for South Korea? Actually, the more I inspect numbers, the more I am certain the politics and nationalism are infecting most results. This, of course, makes dealing with this pandemic very problematic ... unfortunately.

The thing that no one knows is that if you test positive in South Korea, you live in a COVID dorm (jail) with other COVID patients until you no longer have the disease.
