    Death rate at 3 per million right now, which is tied with Germany and South Korea.

    Sorry I am having difficulty with the reported death rate numbers and with comparing one countries numbers to another. The reason is:

    The criteria for who gets tested is "most likely" different per country (in MS for example you had to have a fever above 101.5 in order to be tested)
    The numbers do not include people that have the virus and have not been tested because they did not meet the criteria (this will reduce the death rate - percentage wise)

    I know it is the only number we have, but I think we "most likely" are comparing apples to oranges.
