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

Average age in Germany is 46 (US 38). 11 deaths per 100,000. 49 deaths per 100,000 in US. Australia has 295 deaths and the same average age as the US. This point about age is...not good.

Now do the other twenty variables and time travel to the end to let us know how Germany did with their coming waves.

Scott, if you think German Covid deaths are going to quintuple (I guess we’re going to freeze in place) then that’s an even worse point than the age dismissal. Canada has half of our death toll per capita.

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.

You have a good grasp on one of the 20 or so variables that might matter. Why ignore the rest?
