This table of world countries is sorted in descending order of total Covid-19 cases identified to date (see the column under “CASES” labeled “Total cases”). Note that while the U.S. ranks #1 in total cases, it only ranks #14 in terms of total cases per million population (see the adjacent column labeled “Total cases/1M pop”). Similarly, the U.S. ranks #1 in total identified deaths to date, but it’s only #13 in terms of deaths per million population.
Conclusion: It isn’t fair to say, as some have been saying, that the U.S. has “the world’s worst outbreak” of Covid-19 — at least not on a population-adjusted basis.
That said, there is cause for concern in that the U.S.’s percentage growth in deaths yesterday (see the column under “DEATHS” labeled “Total deaths/1M pop”) was 10% and Canada’s was 16% — higher than any of the other top countries in this ranker. (Math note: A consistent 10% means that a count will double every week; a consistent 15% means that a count will double every five days.)
Another math note: Although the White House task force has been bragging about the number of U.S. tests that have been conducted to date, as a percentage of the population the U.S. ranks only in 35th place among countries, with only .9% of its population having been tested so far.
