I think that this might be my last post on this issue for a while ... as it seems things may be settling down.
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 59,154
Sweden 29,291
Norway 46,553
Italy 66,970
South Korea 19,330
Germany 51,917
California 55,240
Massachusetts 97,161
New York 117,908
Florida 51,586
Cases per million
USA 5,817
Sweden 4,149
Norway 1,570
Italy 3,870
South Korea 230
Germany 2,208
California 3,111
Massachusetts 14,808
New York 19,704
Florida 2,802
Deaths per million
USA 383
Sweden 452
Norway 44
Italy 567
South Korea 5
Germany 104
California 113
Massachusetts 1,045
New York 1,557
Florida 122
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.
