Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Thryleon]

Let’s crunch the numbers.

With a population of 25,670,300, Australia has had 897 deaths. With a population of 328.2 million, the US has had 214,000 deaths. Per 100,000 people, the death rate is 3.5 in Aus & 65.2 in the USA. The US death rate is over 18 times Australia’s.

Feel free to post your own calculations. I took the first stats that appeared in the google searches, so better stats might be out there.

Did they lock 20% of the country in isolation for 6 months to achieve that?

As a percentage of total population how do our stats look?

On this ranking our case fatality rate is actually higher.

Did we just end up with more vulnerable infected or how does this stat work?

FYI even with the numbers you counted as a proportion of population the number of dead still comes to under 1% in both nations cases.
