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 22, 2020 ... see: Latest Data for verification. (If you check after 5/22/2020, the numbers will change.)
Tests per million
USA 40,768
Sweden 20,798
Norway 41,178
Italy 53,635
South Korea 15,653
Germany 42,923
California 36,742
Massachusetts 72,758
New York 80,066
Florida 37,973
Cases per million
USA 4,904
Sweden 3,251
Norway 1,534
Italy 3,770
South Korea 217
Germany 2,139
California 2,239
Massachusetts 13,070
New York 18,832
Florida 2,266
Deaths per million
USA 291
Sweden 389
Norway 43
Italy 537
South Korea 5
Germany 89
California 92
Massachusetts 892
New York 1,485
Florida 100
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.
As another metric here is an interesting comparison. (I forgot where I found it.) I think it is a little dated and does not reconciled it with the above numbers ... but looks close:

That's .00028% for the USA
Wrong ... 0.028%
