Pandemic Comparison 5

I have not done one of these for a while….

The population of the US is about 13 times greater than that of Australia. So if all things are equal, US figures should be 13 times greater than Australian figures.

Today’s figures 8 September 2020:

Australian cases: 26,322
US cases: 6.3 M

The US currently has about 239 times as many cases as Australia.

The pattern over time is as follows:

10 April 77 times as many cases as Aus
29 April 130 times as many cases as Aus
29 May 246 times as many cases as Aus
27 June 330 times as many cases as Aus
08 Sept 239 times as many cases as Aus

We should note that testing is going to be difficult with those US numbers. But it would appear cases have significantly gone up in Australia.

Australian deaths: 762
US deaths: 189k

The US has 248 times as many deaths as Australia

The pattern is as follows:

10 April 309 times as many deaths as Aus
29 April 673 times as many deaths as Aus
29 May 1000 times as many deaths as Aus
27 June 1221 times as many deaths as in Aus
08 Sept 248 times as many deaths

A significant decline in the US increase of death.

We still have no figures for those left incapacitated by the virus
