Country Comparison COVID-19
Schildwacht
6
*Scientific version*
This App shows the total number of people who have died from the Corona COVID-19 virus since the outbreak for every 1 million (M) inhabitants.
Calculation: Fatals by COVID-19 / Total population of the country in Millions = Amount of deaths per million.
This is a reliable measure to compare countries on the severity of the outbreak.
Why measure it this way?
Countries may not test every infected person with COVID-19 or report lower estimations than measured in reality. Even to the World Health Organization (WHO). Therefore the total number of infected people per country as communicated on the news may give a biased reading about the impact in that country. To use the reported number of deaths caused by the virus in the measurement will be more accurate and gives a better indication of the size of the infection. Also the size of a country is relevant when comparing the impact. Therefore we show and measure it differently with this App than usual. This gives a realistic result when comparing countries.
