I last wrote about lockdown effectiveness (or lack thereof) back in April 2020<\/a>. In the same way, I'm once again thinking about virus stats instead of studying... ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So after all this time, how do country's cases and deaths compare? Let's have a look shall we? I've picked out six countries that have been in the UK news a lot recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's the number of cases in each country as a percentage of the population. As before, populations are approximate. In order of severity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country<\/td>Population (millions)<\/td>Cases<\/td>% of population<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
USA<\/strong><\/td>330.64<\/td>21,761,186<\/td>6.58%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
UK<\/td>67.82<\/td>2,957,476<\/td>4.36%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
France<\/td>65.25<\/td>2,701,658<\/td>4.14%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Brazil<\/td>213.34<\/td>8,013,708<\/td>3.76%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
South Africa<\/td>59.3<\/td>1,192,570<\/td>2.01%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
NZ<\/td>5<\/td>1,863<\/td>0.04%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is the percentage of each population dead due to covid-19:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country<\/td>Population (millions)<\/td>Deaths<\/td>% of population<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
UK<\/strong><\/td>67.82<\/td>79,833<\/td>0.12%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
USA<\/td>330.64<\/td>365,886<\/td>0.11%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
France<\/td>65.25<\/td>67,049<\/td>0.1%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Brazil<\/td>213.34<\/td>201,460<\/td>0.09%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
South Africa<\/td>59.3<\/td>32,425<\/td>0.05%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
NZ<\/td>5<\/td>25<\/td>0.0005%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why is there such a high chance of death in the UK compared to anywhere else? Again, why is this not being reported on? ?\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
