Thanks, that does put things in perspective. This is a side that is never talked about,..... not sensational enough.

Even using % of population, this is still a huge and meaningless hype.

The number of confirmed cases is almost entirely dependent on how much testing has been done, and how subjects were selected for testing.

So far, subjects have been “self-selected”. In other words, they represent patients with symptoms sufficient to warrant a visit to a doctor or ER. Obviously, such a sampling is heavily biased toward those likely to test positive. Moreover, different countries have varying testing capabilities, and varying policies regarding who should get tested.

The more testing, the more confirmed positives. Period.

Without randomized and statistically controlled sampling of the population, we know ZERO regarding what % of the population might have been infected, and ZERO about how deadly the virus is.

Great graphic!

I’ve made several posts here warning that the MSM, etc. would use country-to-country comparisons to make the USA look bad, compared to smaller European countries. It wasn’t a difficult prediction to make. Per/people comparisons are the only valid comparisons.

Your graphic makes the point much better.

Good graph explaining how the media lies with statistics.
