Comparing covid 19 death rates - Countries and States
Current listing of the highest death rates per million in the world. Rates per million are the best way to compare countries for obvious reasons.
1 Belgium 853 per million 2. United Kingdom 659 3. Spain 606 4. Italy 577 5. Sweden 547 6. France 444 7. USA 415 8. Ireland 357 9. Netherlands 354 10. Chile 303 So USA is bad but not the worst. Sweden is the only country on the list that did not lockdown. What if we inserted US states into the list? US States, in terms of covid 19 policies, are kind of like autonomous countries, there was no overall policy for lockdowns and mitigation handed down by federal government. States were free to choose what they did in terms of their response. Countries and US states with highest death rates per million 1. New Jersey 1757 deaths per million 2. New York 1665 3. Connecticut 1220 4. Massachusetts 1206 5. Rhode Island 921 6. Belgium 853 7. DC 805 8. Louisiana 733 9. United Kingdom 659 10. Michigan 632 So 5 US States have the very worst death rates per million in the world. US States have 7 of the highest death rates in the world. I included District of Columbia because they keep their own stats and made their own policies about lockdown etc. Those 7 states combine for a total of 71,351 covid 19 deaths, which is 52% of all covid 19 deaths in USA. 52% of deaths and only 16% of total population. For comparison, Florida death rate per million is 190, we are in 24th place among states, so middle of the pack. We may move up in the ranks with this recent surge in new cases. Make sure you stay safe and do not become a statistic. |
It is so sad that we could be doing much better.

I suspect other countries in South America (besides Chile) and Africa will soon start appearing in the Top Ten, but a lot depends on how good their reporting is and how broad their definition of "Covid-related death" is. |

The latest Florida data shows the age group from 15-34 now account for 98,263 of the positive cases, 37% of all cases. With a total death count of 35 that is a death rate of less than 0.0004. Until it starts to affect them, which it probably won't, I don't expect to see them taking it as serious as some wish.

Sweden's deaths keep plumetting and they have no surge of new cases. They may have reached a herd immunity threshold and might have the last laugh. 75% of their death total is from nursing homes, everyone blew that one but without that total, their strategy seems to have worked. |

Pen people up and, when you release them, many just go wild. Only time will tell, but I do think Sweden took the correct approach. |

It is amazing to me that people blame the government for the spread of COVID 19.
The people who do not follow the guidelines are the ones more responsible. If you go to the grocery store you will see more people without masks than with, most people not observing social distance, going down aisles against the arrows. People in large groups doing peaceful protests. These things were happening during the quarantine not just before and after. |
