Table 2. COVID-19 cases, deaths, case-fatalities, and mortality per 100 000 people in six well-resourced countries.
Country | Confirmed cases | Deaths | Case-fatality | Death per 100 000 population |
---|---|---|---|---|
UK | 321 064 | 41 454 | 12.9% | 62.35 |
US | 5 438 325 | 170 497 | 3.1% | 52.11 |
The Netherlands | 64 980 | 6194 | 9.5% | 35.95 |
Canada | 124 218 | 9075 | 7.3% | 24.49 |
Australia | 23 773 | 438 | 1.8% | 1.75 |
New Zealand | 1643 | 22 | 1.3% | 0.45 |
Confirmed cases and hence case-fatality depend on the degree to which community testing and surveillance is occurring, and whether all deaths (including those at home or in aged care facilities) are included.
