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.
