Think you have to also consider cities there size and how the accommodation is .. I would be interested in Tokyo as they are totally rammed, Monaco as well is rammed ... They were saying that in New York it was the poor areas that were hit, but they to are close together.

If that is key what about the favelas in Brazil and poor urban sprawls through Africa where you'd imagine healthcare is limited. Would be rife.
Edit: of course age demographic is much younger there which will help them.
I wonder how reliable the figures published from Russia are really.Read earlier that Moscow's hospitals were seriously struggling and Russia has barely registered on the world numbers, which reinforces it is that speed and localisation that creates such a challenge.
With the different reporting methods and timescales from every country can we really take any of the figures from anywhere as reliable..?I wonder how reliable the figures published from Russia are really.
@maxfli65 not that it makes any difference to the general point, I'd guess the UK will be reporting hiting 10,000+ on Sunday.

Notwithstanding the unreliability, as of now taking into account population (& excluding tiny countries), this is the order of impact.

last time I looked Luxembourg was a small country of about 600k inhabitants.
Still interesting to see the figures in perspective.
Obviously USA has a huge population, so 20k deaths is small in terms of a percentage. But still tragic
Once this is all over, it’s going to interesting from a stats view to look at the actual deaths compared to the normal expected death rates for each age group.
Some are saying 30% higher than normal
It will also be interesting to compare the countries with advanced care facilities with those with less advanced or none
Or indeed countries with high populations, good facilities in cities, but poor in very rural areas, ie India
Just thought I'd repost to see the changes. BBC have just done a piece on updates from around Europe, but still no mention of Belgium - baffled ?Notwithstanding the unreliability, as of now taking into account population (& excluding tiny countries), this is the order of impact.

A start...We will never know the true scale of deaths, especially from China and Russia.
I note they said the reason for the discrepancies was their health services were overwhelmed.A start...
'The Chinese city of Wuhan - where the virus emerged - has revised its Covid-19 death toll up by 1,209, to 3,869 - an increase of almost 50%
The total was increased to include some of those who died outside hospital, and because of some delayed reports.
"Obviously it will add to suspicion about China's coronavirus figures," our correspondent says.'
