Interesting statistics about the COVID-19 virus.
Comparing the USA against most of Western Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, U.K., France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland) the population difference is only 13,506. Virtually identical for comparison purposes.
Total cases: USA - 2,638,386, Europe - 1,206,712
Deaths - USA - 128,459, Europe - 133,137
Percent of Deaths/Cases - USA 4.87% - Europe 11.03%
Deaths per Million Population: USA - 388.09, Europe - 402.23
Cases % per Population - USA 0.8%, Europe - 0.36%
Tests Given USA-32,602,913, Europe - 26,776,346
Test % per Population - USA 9.85%, Europe - 8.09%
So with less than 1/2 of the cases of the USA, Europe has twice the deaths per positive infection.
Europe has more overall deaths from COVID-19 than the USA.
The USA has given 6,000,000 more tests, almost 2% more of the population than Europe. .
The USA has more than twice the number of positive infections than Europe.
So is the USA really as bad as the media says it is? Or is it all hype?
(I am not saying the virus is not serious)
