#1 Many less affluent countries have death rates 20 times lower than the U.S., even with fewer hospitals, doctors, nurses and high tech equipment

Example?

#2 Grom - really? Go to Worldometers. Examples include Mexico, Columbia, Iran, Guatemala, El Salvador, Libya, Palestine, Phillippines...

#3 #2 USA has 5% death/(death + recovery).
1/20 of this will be 0.25% Any on your list (even if you trust stats from Iran, Libya, "Palestine") have it?

#4 OK, missed the difference. USA 610/million. 30.5 x 20 is 610. Less than 30.5 includes over 100 countries, such as Pakistan, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba, Nigeria. Oh, and China. Uh-huh.

BTW, did you read the study?

#5 ^Many less affluent countries have death rates 20 times lower than the US., even with fewer hospitals, doctors, nurses and high tech equipment..

Clearly it talks about outcomes of infection, not per capita deaths.
And, in any case, 3 months ago deaths/million was 200 in Israel - now it's 1200. You think the same can't happen to countries on your list?
