        In most of these places, the number of infections is still well below 20% of the country, which gives you some context of the potential deaths to come

        I can already see the naysayer comments incoming "what's the big deal, 0.1%!" Numbers like these never happen besides in times of war or DURING A PANDEMIC

        I've been publishing the following two lists here everyday. Any rate above 500 per million (Micheal Levitt's claimed "saturation" ceiling) basically makes COVID the deadliest disease in any given countrypic.twitter.com/POAU16nJR6

        Goodness.. your stuff really needs to appear in my feed more prominently as I missed this, even though I “follow”. Disturbing.

        South Africa is at more than 800 per million based on excess deaths. Should be right up there in this chart.

        Shows how critical it is to have proper systems in place to record basic data. The story of COVID in developing countries is not being told correctly...

        And what do all these countries have in common.....??? Oh yeah. Nothing. Different rules, demographics, healthcare systems, political leanings, geography - same outcome.
