More than one year after the world went into lock-down, world countries have fared quite differently in the face of the pandemic.
CRC collects and analyze the best data available on cases, deaths, tests, hospitalizations, and vaccines to help the public, its leaders, and healthcare professionals worldwide respond to the pandemic.
While the numbers shown speak for themselves, I’d like to add a few personal comments. If one looks first at the deaths per capita, three countries, Brazil, the UK and the United States, one can see that incompetent leadership (Bolsenaro, Johnson and Trump) didn’t help a bit in preventing huge, unnecessary number of deaths.
Some countries like France or Germany should have done much better too. What continues to be remarkable is that Canada, country that shares our culture, only has 36% of our high casualties, which suggest that more than 360,000 death could have been avoided in the United States.
Even more strikingly, Norway only accounts for 6% of Sweden deaths per capita. Sure, one can be suspicious of China and Russia numbers, but Taiwan was able to control the pandemic to such a degree that its performance should be carefully analyzed and understood in order to lay the foundation for some serious best practices for the next pandemic.
Small countries like Israel did generally better than larger ones, but thanks to Biden, who took the bull by the horns, the US is doing okay while the rest including Norway weren’t able to get organized fast enough and shoot their constituents as they should have.
Another great of opportunity for setting “best practices!” In closing,
I’m not surprised to see that nations don’t want to expose too much of these rather embarrassing statistics...
