When comparing countries in terms of coronavirus deaths, be sure to factor in. . . - Population density - % Black population (higher mortality) - Average age - Island (or nearly an island) - Cultural norms of conformity - Strong states vs. Federal govt. - Vitamin D exposure

These metrics aren't good for comparison. Let's look at a few: Switzerland, Australia, Canada, all have strong Cantons/States/Provinces: 23, 1, 24 deaths per capita. US 49.

Let's take five of the oldest countries: Japan (median age 47), Germany (46), Greece/Hong Kong/Austria (44). Covid deaths per 100,000: .82, 11, 1.97, 52 total deaths, and 8. Again, countries can be at the top or bottom depending on the effectiveness of their response.
