Apparently an under estimate. 'Though the pandemic has impacted 212 countries and territories, the real brunt of the health crisis hit the European countries and the United States hardest. Adequately forewarned but least prepared, they squandered the weeks after the declaration of an international emergency by the WHO in late January. The initial months of the epidemic in China now seem to pale in comparison when in late February to mid-March, the virus began to take its toll rapidly. According to the website Our World in Data, Belgium has had 726 deaths per million, Spain with 558, Italy with 495, the United Kingdom with 451, France with 398, Netherlands 309, Sweden 301, and the United States with 229. China, by comparison, has little more than three deaths per million.' Number of COVID-19 cases hits 4 million worldwide 9th May 2020 https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/05/09/covi-m09.html |
