| crissindahouse said: While speaking about the deaths per 1m population we also have to look at the average age and especially percentage of population above something like 70 years. USA as example is way younger than Italy, Spain, Germany and so on... The number of deaths per 1m population isn't really telling the whole story. Turkey as example is pretty close to Germany (both around 83m people) but there are probably 5x as many people above 70 in Germany. USA has Like 5.5x as many people as Italy but probably only 3x as many above 65 and maybe only 2x as many above 75 |
True. And that could actually be a shimmer of hope for 3rd-world countries, as their demographics usually tend to be much younger.
