15. Deaths and population size; ratio of almost absolute numbers for comparisons

Mon Jul 6, 2020, 04:10 PM

Jul 2020

USA 130,000 deaths in population of 330 million

Uruguay 28 deaths in population of 3.4 million (since March 13 first case reported).

Quick math with some rounding, USA has 100 times the gente de Uruguay.
Since Uruguay doesn't have 2,800 deaths, I am willing to say, "Yah the USA is a leader with exceptional people, with 100 times too many covidiots."
Happy to be some random expat who chose wisely.
