As long as we're talking numbers, here is today's installment of the proper relative comparison of deaths across the world. Below is today's update with April 9th totals for the US and other countries that started their round of golf on March 26. While the US' time series ends on Day 16 (which is April 9 - and is basis of the order, i.e., I sorted the data by Day 16 values), I am publishing other countries future totals/'golfer's scores' who are on hole 8 while we're at hole 4.

To help with one FRiend who hinted that the grid was mind-boggling, I can post the fatalities in the 1,000, i.e., the US Day 16 total is sixteen point five thousand fatalities. Let me know if that would work for you or not.

The US' ranking improved one notch, with Switzerland now rising in the ranks (note: rising in the ranks is not a good thing). As noted previously, the 'hands-off' countries like Sweden and the Netherlands have higher adjusted fatalities but some would question if the economic carnage was worth about 2.4M-5.7M fewer fatalities. (The answer: if would, if one of those fatalities was your mum.)
