Current Deadly Hot Spots

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I don't have the time or energy to track all figures, so I look most at Deaths (as that also affects population numbers - one of the data sets I have been tracking for years).  
The current deadly hot-spots, using just the first two days of December (all data from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) and reporting the ratio (ie deaths per million population) are:-
Slovenia                       54
Bulgaria                        45
Hungary                       33
Croatia                         32
North Macedonia          30
Sweden                        29  (this may be high because Sweden tends to back date cases and I don't have the information to correct that)
Austria                         29
Bosnia & Herzegovina  28
Poland                          28
Switzerland                   26
Italy                              24
Czechia                        21
Armenia                        21
Luxembourg                  21
Lithuania                       21
Belgium                         21
Malta                             20
Greece                          20

It looks like Eastern Europe is being hammered at this time.  As that is a region that has many countries with declining population numbers this could lead to a lot of difficulties in the future for the remaining population.

The fact that Lithuania is in the table is sad as the whole Baltic region did well (ie much better than Finland) in the first wave, but now it is experiencing above world average increases in its rates.

	EdwinSM-When I look at [url]https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/[/url] or https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ I get these numbers-looking at deaths per million (dpm) list; Slovenia (#78) today at 744 dpm two days a go 717-+23 dpm-but todays new numbers will bring another increase. [url]https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus[/url] or https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus may give more info on trends-weekly increases etc. I would like to have more statistics-on reinfection, age distribution urban/rural cases etc. On the other hand trying to get a bigger picture of this pandemic is already an almost impossible job. (Trying to keep "politics" limited-yes lockdowns bring economic damage so does a pandemic, masks seem to work, China did under report real cases in the early phase-all countries did...) In my opinion statistics can give some impression on the effects of this pandemic. [url]https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/[/url] or https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ also has much info. I was hoping [url]https://innovationorigins.com/corona-in-europe-how-the-swedish-fairy-tale-crashed-long-before-christmas/[/url] or https://innovationorigins.com/corona-in-europe-how-the-swedish-fairy-tale-crashed-long-before-christmas/ would-by now-give new updates... Before internet getting info was a hard job-with internet selecting on what info you want is a challenge...
