Deaths vs Confirmed cases of COVID-19 -

I visit Our World Data for COVID-19 data charts.


I note that certain countries have 5% or more deaths vs confirmed cases, and most of those with the higher percentages of death would likely still be strong allies of the USA  I mean those countries with data points towards the top of this data.

I searched  raw data a few days ago and ran percentages of a few of those countries:

Percent ofOVID-19 Deaths Per confirmed Cases

                                       Country                         %      

                                       France                        13.9
                                       Italy                            13.5
                                       UK                              13.3
                                       Brazil                            7.5
                                       USA                              5.9
                                       Belgium                        5.5


Exceptions to lower death rates are Iran at 6.6 and China at 6.0, which are not likely allies of ours.   

The USA deaths would likely have been similar to France, Italy, and the UK, if President Trump had not very quickly halted incoming passengers from China. China halted travel from the originating Wuhan area to other parts of China, but not to the rest of the world.  The United States is now performing many more tests than any of the other nations and apparently more testing discovers more deaths due to the world's Invisible Enemy.

I wonder about targeting.   Much more can be gleaned from the many charts.
