Earlier today, I posted several charts showing coronavirus fatalities in various countries in several formats. Many think that per capita mortality rates are the most relevant metric; our friend Brian Sullivan, who runs a highly sophisticated biomedical company, emailed us today with these comments:
Another worthwhile analysis would consider the common sense observation that the US, South Korea, and Europe had their first cases at roughly the same time. Therefore, I think it is informative to compare the per capita number of cases and deaths in Europe and South Korea to those in the US. I created the table below to calculate the per capita case and death rate in each country as of March 17th as reported by the Worldometers website.
I converted Brian’s table, as it relates to mortality, into a simple bar chart that shows deaths per million of population; click to enlarge:

There added how we won..../s
Nope, they’ve got wholesale miracles going on over there in Italy, 40 resurrections per penitent, unfortunately, that’s all you get and they don’t survive the last death. Must be the only explanation for 40 per capita deaths.
"Merely?" That's like saying that defense is not important in football. It's true that it will take more than travel bans, but our scientists and medical experts needed that time to prepare.
gotta those Marshall plans in place
Thanks for the graph!!
From the chart I figure it is Italian food that is at fault.
In the US there are Chinese enclaves from Honk Kong & Macao, from Taiwan, and then from areas of mainland China. My impression is they don't mix it up that much, but I don't know. Maybe Seattle is mainlanders. There are concentrated Chinese communities in California I've been in, but I don't think they're mainland Chinese (Hacienda Heights, Chinatown LA).
The Mediterranean diet has met it’s match.
Italy got it from two sources. A muslim that had the virus refused to self quarantine and kept delivering chinese food. The other source was direct from chinese in Italy that had recently traveled to the hot zone. There is a large chinese contingency in the Italy leather goods industry.
For the U.S. it was from American and Chinese business/educational travelers.
Nope. Italy’s population is 60.5 million. They’ve had 2,978 Covid-19 deaths so far. 3,000 / 60.5 M = 49.6 per Million
just a anecdotal note...many Vietnamese and other southeast Asian people celebrate the Chinese New year too...

Yeah, but we are about two weeks behind Europe. It is only just starting here. Don’t get too confident in those numbers.

...especially if it were on a LOG scale.
