Some more “data doodling”. Thirteen of the fifteen countries with the highest C19 mortality rates are in Eastern Europe; the USA is 16th.
Using data from WorldoMeter (and OurWorldinData for vaxx rates) here is a table of the top 16 countries, ranked by deaths per million, for deaths, cases, recoveries, tests and active cases per million, along with vaxx rates per 100 of the population.
I wonder if the WHO is in contact with these countries letting them know what countries with better outcomes (say countries with the lowest rates of deahs per million) have done differently.
Let’s start with the usual caveats. A “Case” is determined by using an RT-PCR test (or a Rapid Antigen Test, confirmed with an RT-PCR test) and undisclosed amplification cycles. These are usually between 30-40 cycles, have no relation to infectiousness and yield dubious results for the detection of gene sequences above 24 – meaning there are a lot of false positives (maybe the majority). Similarly, “Deaths” are with C19 present using these RT-PCR test; around 5% of C19 deaths have ONLY C19 present, amongst 2-6 other killer diseases and health conditions.
Note the column for C19 injection rates per 100. These range from a low of 68 injections per 100 for the population for Bulgaria, all the way up to 249 per 100 for Peru and all points in between for the other countries.
There is no correlation between the rates of injection and the impact on mortality or case rates. C19 infections last around 15-20 days and people recover of their own accord.
98% of the 4% to 22% annualized “Case” rates for these 16 countries (who have (the highest population mortality rates) have recovered.
Quite a busy table. Peru has the highest deaths per million in the world at 6,442 (equivalent to 2,274 per annum population mortality rate or 0.23% per annum). Peru has a lower “Case” rate per million than most, but a higher “Case” fatality rate . It has a relatively low “Test” rate at one per capita. These types of numbers for lower “Case” and “Test” rates are seen in several other countries.
Other than San Marino and Peru, thirteen of the fifteen countries with the highest population mortality rates are in Eastern Europe.
Maybe this is a sign of the genetics of the region or maybe it’s the quality of health care systems or treatment protocols or a combination of these factors (or one or two others). Presumably, the WHO is, and has been, all over these countries, recommending the tactics used by countries with far better outcomes.
The good news from the table is that “Recoveries” per million are averaging around 98%. Quite how “Recoveries” don’t feature In either the clinical trials or the narrative is beyond me. The annualized population mortality rate for these countries with the highest rates are within a few hundredths of a percent of 0.15%. How is this even a Public Health Emergency at all? Remember these 16 countries are the ones with the HIGHEST population mortality rates of 230 countries and cruise liners covered by WorldoMeter.
On a positive note for the US, “Recoveries” have increased rapidly. Japan and Germany now have higher numbers of “Active Cases” and, on a per capita basis, the US has improved dramatically. Countries such as Poland, Viet Nam, South Korea and Taiwan are increasing and not clearing “Cases” and now have higher per capita “Active Cases”.
Last point. I wonder how many Americans appreciate that, excluding Peru, 13 Eastern Europe countries and San Marino, the US has the highest C19 death rate in the world? This could of course be because of better health care in other countries, incentivisation for causing C19 deaths in the US, under-reporting of C19 deaths in other countries, over-reporting of C19 deaths in the US and specific population characteristics of Americans compared to most everyone else and/or other factors.
Be very interesting to know where Taiwan is on that table.
Found Taiwan 17th.
Disturbing the very high new cases there.
as they seemed to cope so well with the initial outbreak.
