I'm not sure there's any magic to it - countries that are testing a very large proportion of their population are seeing much lower death rates. Still high, but I think it's a matter of case identification more than anythinghttps://twitter.com/MackayIM/status/1241863954785169409 …

I'd make a graph of this by country, but the information on number of tests is so sparse and patchy that I think best not

But isn't it the case that even the CFR per capita is much lower in Germany? (graph from http://shinyapps.org/apps/corona/ )pic.twitter.com/Iu3gLq4w2s

Mmmm but the CFR per capita is a function of the crude CFR, which is still calculated as a proportion of deaths/cases. If the number of cases is wrong due to under-identification, the per capita number is similarly misleading
