Top ten countries in deaths per 100,000 of population.


The standings on July 9th:

First Place: San Marino! - 124.32

2nd Place: Belgium - 85.59

3rd Place: Andorra - 67.53

4th Place: United Kingdom - 67.08

5th Place: Spain - 60.77

6th Place: Italy - 57.77

7th Place: Sweden - 53.83

8th Place: France - 44.69

9th Place: USA! - 40.4


As it stands now:

First Place: San Marino - 124.32

2nd Place: Belgium - 86.24

3rd Place: United Kingdom - 69.63

4th Place: Andorra - 67.53

5th Place: Peru - 61.93

6th Place: Spain - 60.94

7th Place: Italy - 58.19

8th Place: Sweden - 56.41

9th Place: Chile - 51.83

10th Place: USA! - 47.50


Wow, while seemingly trying really hard, gaining 7.1 more deaths per 100,000, America simply can’t keep up, dropping from 9th to 10th.

And Sweden, arguably trying harder than any other country, drops a spot despite gaining just over another 2.5 deaths per 100,000 pop.

And France has dropped out of the top 10 altogether, displaced by upstarts Peru and Chile.

Keep in mind that this is a marathon not a sprint. The standings are likely to change as countries struggle with how to, and how not to, open schools for the Fall.

The Netherlands come in at 16th Place, at 35.80. They’ve got their work cut out for them if they want to crack the top ten. Will no masks do it for them?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8583925/amp/The-land-no-face-masks-Hollands-scientists-say-theres-no-solid-evidence-coverings-work.html?__twitter_impression=true

The Netherlands has dropped to the 19th spot (36.39).

alt for Norge!


Norway isn't in the top ten, YEA!!

At 4.82 deaths per 100,000 of the population, Norway doesn’t have a chance. Sorry.

Maybe they’d be able to catch up to Finland’s 5.96, but they can forget about Denmark’s 10.63. And of course, Scandinavia’s Sweden, at 56.1, is the heavyweight champ of the Nordics, despite what Anders Tegnell has to say:

https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN24M25L?__twitter_impression=true

Norway is the Jamaican bobsled team of Covid.

HA!

Does that make the USA the Eddie the Eagle of Covid?

*Poof*

Thank you. I'll remove my post above.

¿ did they all died OPie ? ~

Georgia opened some schools today:

https://twitter.com/Freeyourmindkid/status/1290626349426671617?s=20

It’s efforts like this that might get the USA past Chile to reclaim the 9th spot!

USA! USA! USA!

Teachers where I live are watching Georgia in horror -- few masks and no social distancing.

Here in Albertabama, it’s the same or worse. The Premiere assures us that teachers can just “tidy up” to help fight covid.

New standings:

First Place: San Marino - 124.32 -

2nd Place: Belgium - 86.54 ^

3rd Place: United Kingdom - 70.10 ^

4th Place: Andorra - 67.53 -

5th Place: Peru - 67.21 ^

6th Place: Spain - 61.17 ^

7th Place: Italy - 58.27 ^

8th Place: Sweden - 56.66 ^

9th Place: Chile - 54.34 ^

10th Place: USA! - 50.29 ^

Despite Covid killing an extra three people (almost) per 100,000 of the population in the USA, the Americans do not gain another place. And is that the United Kingdom, giving Belgium a run for its money?

NYT Editorial Board figures another 6-8 weeks before the U.S. gets control of the virus, (but what do they know...):

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/08/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-response-testing-lockdown.html

Human, I retired from teaching in 2015, and then substitute taught for a few years. I gave that up last year, and now with Covid I wouldn’t even consider returning to the classroom. My daughter in Leduc is continuing on with online distance learning with her two kids, at least for the first term.

looking in, thank you for teaching our Province’s children all those years, years, by the way, where Alberta’s students consistently ranked in the top tier of the world.

What’s happening to our public education (and health care) today is egregious idiocy of the like I’ve never seen before. If anything, COVID may have slowed Kenney’s plans to decimate then privatize.

Well, I guess it doesn’t come as a surprise:

Coronavirus prompts closing of Georgia high school in district with over 1K in quarantine:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/coronavirus-prompts-closing-georgia-high-school-district-over-1k-quarantine-n1236492


If governments insist on opening the schools, then teachers must insist on not showing up, en masse.

>>If governments insist on opening the schools, then teachers must insist on not showing up, en masse.

Many will do just that -- quit, retire early, take leave, etc. We've been finding that it doesn't take many teachers opting out to bring down a major school system -- anywhere from 1.5% to 5% of the teaching force.

The standings on Sept 5th:

First Place: San Marino! - 124.32

2nd Place: Peru - 91.92

3rd Place: Belgium - 86.68

4th Place: Andorra - 68.83

5th Place: Spain - 62.96

6th Place: United Kingdom - 62.61

7th Place: Chile - 61.37

8th Place: Brasil - 59.91

9th Place: Italy - 58.77

10th Place: USA! - 57.39


This doesn't look good. Despite all efforts to the contrary, the USA simply cannot rise in the top 10.

Since July 9th the USA has risen its deaths per 100,000 by an astonishing 17 citizens, and yet it's just barely edging out Sweden (57.3), which has dropped to 11th place. France, which got off to a strong, early start, has dropped to the 15th spot (45.87).

Poor Sweden, eh? No lockdown, no social distancing and no masks, and yet they can't keep themselves in the top 10.

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Meanwhile, in Victoria, Australia (2.99 death per 100,000 pop), they're arresting people for making facebook posts. Thank god in Australia they don't arrest people American-style!

https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/coronavirus-pregnant-victorian-woman-filmed-arrest/news-story/cdd5dd3ed140416489c1925e4e6aef8d

Her crime: "inciting a protest against COVID-19 restrictions"

Agreed. American arrests often have an unfortunate finality about three.

Andorra and San Marino really ought to get an asterisk, or retired from the listing or something. They are such tiny countries that it takes very few deaths to make a big difference in their deaths per 100k.

San Marino in particular had a major outbreak at the beginning, when northern Italy did, and has apparently had zero deaths in the last several months. The whole country has under 40k population. It would fit in Logan, UT, with lots of wiggle room.

Right.

Had I your time (and math skills) I would have folded them into the Italian and Spanish numbers from the outset.

San Marino’s numbers have remained the same, as Italy has dropped out of the top ten. Andorra’s numbers have slightly risen while Spain remains in the top ten.

USA ! USA ! USA !

The standings on Sept 22nd (COVID deaths per 100,000 pop.):

First Place: San Marino! - 124.32

2nd Place: Peru - 98.06

3rd Place: Belgium - 87.11

4th Place: Andorra - 68.83

5th Place: Bolivia - 67.42

6th Place: Chile - 65.66

7th Place: Spain - 65.63

8th Place: Brasil - 65.53

9th Place: Ecuador - 64.94

10th Place: United Kingdom - 62.68

11th Place: USA! - 61.09


Wow! Having passed Italy, France and do-nothing Sweden, driving her COVID deaths per 100,000 pop. from 40.4 to 61.09 since July 9th, you’d think the USA could at least remain in the top ten! Nope!

The night is young.

But the days grow shorter...

We've topped 200,000 dead. We are overachievers.

Latest count 200,641 (from CNN)

Covid City just passed Salt Lake City and Huntsville, Alabama for 114th largest city in the US. Next in line: Grand Rapids, Michigan. (2019 population estimates from Wikipedia)

HEY!

Seriously. Don't want the ducks infected, don't want the Beth infected.

And keep away from the pangolins that are running riot in central Washington!

What are you griping about ? You're still alive, aren't you ?

Yeah. Although LINCOLN LUMBER might want to get their no-mask-wearing customers under control.

Same with Walmart but Costco is really good. They will not let anyone in the store without a mask.

The standings on Oct 13th (COVID deaths per 100,000 pop.):

First Place: San Marino! - 124.32

2nd Place: Peru - 104.28

3rd Place: Belgium - 89.40

9th Place: Spain - 70.89

10th Place: Mexico - 66.52

11th Place: USA! - 65.74

12th Place: United Kingdom - 64.62

The USA, finally surpassing the UK, and leaving behind early COVID horror shows in Italy and France, and with anti-mask, anti-lockdown Sweden idling in neutral behind them, the USA STILL can’t crack the top ten, even with a sick POTUS and millions trying hard to spread the virus as fast and as far as they can.

(Deaths per 100,000 are climbing in the above elite group almost on a daily basis. I’m waiting for a crest that seems to never happen.)

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Human, witnessing the beginning of a 2nd wave in Alberta and Canada on the cusp of doing the same.

Will the next round of olympics break the record for 1000s of condoms used or will the number decline?

Sexy athletes getting freaky like at every other Olympics prior to covid19.

The standings on Oct 13th (COVID deaths per 100,000 pop.):

2nd Place: Peru - 107.09 (Aug 4th: 61.93)

18th Place: France - 53.48

34rd Place: Canada - 27.21

60th Place: Germany - 12.37

Interesting to note that the UK has managed to reverse their death per 100,000 pop. number and Sweden & Italy have managed to significantly slow their number. That is the sort of cresting I’m waiting to see happen to all the top ten countries.

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Wow! Argentina, out of nowhere!

A lot of jostling for position since last reporting. When first reporting, I thought San Marino’s number was unsurpassable, but look at Belgium go!

While the USA keeps getting pushed down the list, it’s interesting to note how much further do-nothing Sweden gets pushed down. Also, note how little Sweden’s deaths per 100,000 of the population has risen since Aug 4th compared to the countries ahead of them. Quite remarkable.

Don’t worry USA, with Thanksgiving just around the corner there is plenty of opportunity to claw your way back up to the top ten.

The standings as of Nov 22nd (COVID deaths per 100,000 pop.):

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Look at Belgium go! Right to the top! Weird how 23rd place do-nothing Sweden gets so much press. Does anyone know of any news items explaining Belgium’s catastrophic failure?

And look at the UK surge into dominance again! And Italy & France are right back in there, too.

Let’s revisit this a month from now, after America’s Thanksgiving numbers are factored in. Who knows, maybe caution will win the day and enough people will simply stay put.

If you can, stay put.

If you think this 2nd wave is already a bugger and a half, you really don’t want to know what a 3rd wave will look like. Here in Albertabama our ICUs are already at or near capacity, and we’re just getting started.

Buckle up.

"Does anyone know of any news items explaining Belgium’s catastrophic failure?"

It appears that Belgium has been waffling.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/belgium-has-europe-s-worst-covid-19-infection-rate-what-n1245738

But Belgian waffles are delicious.

From the article: “‘The distress is palpable — workers can no longer take it. Every day, we are contacted by colleagues at the end of their rope. Where are the promised reinforcements?’ said the workers union, CNE, in a statement.”

COVID has revealed levels of ignorance in people that I didn’t think possible, especially in otherwise bright people.

Believer or not, anti-masker or not, 99.whatever survival rate or not, there’s absolutely no denying the amount of ‘space’, at the very least, COVID takes from our health systems. Once you exhaust that space, and completely burn out the people trained to work in that space, from doctors and nurses down to the sanitary and maintenance personnel, what do you have? Nothing. No room for cancer or heart attacks & strokes, organ failure, or any of the myriad of medical problems that our medical spaces have been designed to serve.

Quite simply: when the doctors and nurses are dead, sick or just too burned out and tired to work anymore, who replaces them? Nobody, absolutely nobody. Doctors and nurses are anything but ‘plug & play’ professions. When they’re done, we’re done.

The standings as of Dec 3rd (COVID deaths per 100,000 pop.):

First Place: Belgium! - 148.06 (Aug 4th: 86.24)

So, we’re a week out from American Thanksgiving, roughly marking the beginning of the anticipated holiday spike. If it’s anything like Canada’s post-holiday spike, expect the mortality rate to jump significantly, and will probably climb right on through until the new year.

Meanwhile, here in Alberta, we’re about a week away from military field hospitals and refrigerator trucks.* Our ICUs have been overrun, as long predicted; predictions of course ignored by one of the stupidest, unbelievably idiotic governments in N. America, in fact in Canadian history. We are requesting federal field hospitals (military) while at the same time keeping the bars and casinos open.

I can't believe the US has beaten the tag-team of Bosnia AND Herzegovina. How cool is that.

San Marino lost its first place standing because it only has 136 residents (/s). It's tough being a country that you could drop inside the city limits of Magna, UT, and still have about a third of Magna uncovered (true).

Europe has a number of remarkably tiny countries, as well as its fair share of just ordinarily small countries.

And speaking of Bosnia and Herzegovina, no mention of Fredonia.

Not so fast, Yankee.

Looking in today, it appears all kinds of Balkan countries have your number:

North Macedonia 97.12

Bosnia and Herzegovina 94.8

Slovenia 91.9

Montenegro 89.34

United States 88.45

Wonder if they have a “Better Off With Tito” movement going. Here in lockdown Alberta, “Better Off With Rachel” is gaining all kinds of momentum. Bumbles, God willing, may have finally loosened the American-styled, right-wing stranglehold on Wild Rose Country. (A bit of Canadiana for a Canadaphile.)

New rankings coming soon!

I got the Rachel reference, but had to look up "Bumbles". Google didn't even have to break a sweat.

I have friends in Alberta who are liberal by both Alberta and LDS standards, but even they would hiss and spit on the floor if they ever said or heard the word Trudeau. When I saw that the NDP (the real liberals in Canada) nearly swept the province a few years ago, I about fell out of my chair.

From what google served up about Bumbles, he apparently is polling worse than Justin T, which in Alberta is like polling worse than projectile vomiting. Alberta used to have much more in common with Montana and Wyoming than it did with any other part of Canada. The times, they are a-changing, or so it appears. Wish I could visit.

It's over half America's-
North, Central & South...

Stay away from people,
No matter where you are.
They might be harmful-
Especially the dummies!

are any U.S. school districts requiring in-person attendance for K-12?


I suspect (sorry in advance) that some small/ rural southern (KY,TN, GA, AL, WV. etc.) districts do but I'll pass up the chance to call them 'Hillbilly' or backwards bc I know that's offensive even if accurately descriptive.

Really, it's time that EVERYONE 'play in the same band' on this.
