COVID-19 Deaths In The Last Week

[speak easy]

Not per capita, but a sobering graph nonetheless.

1. I work with several people who have family members in India. They tell me the true Covid

death numbers in India are under reported and are likely more than 10 times higher than what is shown. While people here are refusing life saving vaccines, they tell me some of their relatives had to travel long distances and wait for days to receive their shots. Folks in rural areas of India are especially vulnerable to Covid and there is little health care available when they are infected.

Makes me sick to see idiots here refuse the vaccine and then treat hospital staff like crap while poor people in other countries would be grateful for treatment.

11. Agree completely. It's "ugly America" at its worst.

2. Compare our population to there's and we're doing incredibly well.

3. What in the world are you talking about?

India has much larger population than US, yet they are reporting less deaths.
What are we doing extremely well in, beating everybody in higher number of Covid deaths?

4. I don't believe India's numbers nor China for that matter.

5. Whether you believe it or not, nothing indicates that we are doing extremely well.

6. I'm just saying 11,000 out of 343 million is an improvement

[speak easy]

7. 11,000 out of 333 million (U.S.) is 33/million

1400 out of 111 million (Philippines) is 13/million
829 out of 67 million (U.K) is 12/million
278 out of 38 million (Canada) 7/million.

The USA is No.1. by 'miles'.

8. Oh. Yieks. Math clearly is not my strength.

Thank you!

9. Even per capita,

the numbers are horrible for the US, especially in comparison with other first world countries.

10. This graph is misleading, as you note.

A graph showing per capita comparisons is much more accurate. Also, as noted in this thread, some of these countries are not reporting cases accurately.

Nonetheless, there are states in the U.S. (Florida, cough cough) that have worse rates than most nations.
