Thank the gods for South Korea

One too many zeros. coronavirus killed .0000024% of China's population since December.

WHO's "3.4% mortality rate" translates into a killing power of .0000024%, at least for China.

Oh, trust me, that decimal point has a long ways to go before it's in the right place.

It's true that trying to consider the mild cases would depend on more testing. Assuming actual deaths are more accurate than the death rate, perhaps a more reliable way of assessing a country's damage would be to look at coronavirus deaths versus population:

China 1.386B / 3070 deaths: One in every 415,465 people died

South Korea 51.47M / 48 deaths: One in every 1,072,291

Iran 81.16M / 145 deaths: 1 in 559,724

Italy 60.48M / 197 deaths: 1 in 307,000

Spain 46.66M / 10 deaths: 1 in 4,666,000

Switzerland 8.57M / 1 death: 1 in 8,570,000

Japan 126.8M / 6 deaths: 1 in 21,133,333

France 66.99M / 11 deaths: 1 in 6,090,000

United States 327.2M / 17 deaths: 1 in 19,247,058


The first cases of coronovirus for South Korea and the US were January 20th and 21st, respectively.

Adjusted for population, the US has had one-eighteenth the deaths of South Korea due to the virus as of March 7th. Or to put it another way, the Trump administration has been 18 times more effective, so far, in containing the virus than South Korea has, but admittedly only 3 times more effective than France.

Utterly moronic. That is now how death rates work.
 
Do not thank any gods for South Korea. Thank the Koreans themselves, the USA, the British and the other nations who fought the Korean war to preserve its existence. Without their gallantry it would have become just another Communist hell hole.

And a state of war still exists to this day between NK and SK. Can you imagine if we Americans were under a state of war on our immediate border all that time. My God our hair and pants are on fire 24/7 these days as it is.
