How do we know what the real numbers are on the increase or decline of the Corona Virus?
In the news there seems to be a consensus that the U.S. is still getting worse, while all the other developed countries have gotten the Virus under control. They say Europe has mostly fixed the problem and is slowly returning to normal. So it's mostly good news except for the U.S.A. (Though it's getting out of control in many poor countries.)
And yet the tables/graphs showing comparison of countries still have Belgium being the worst, with Sweden and Spain and UK ahead of the U.S. in death rate per capita and positive cases.
So, where are the real facts/data, adjusted for population size etc., showing the real comparison of each country, and showing the latest daily trend of higher or lower rate of deaths or new cases?
Or, is it true that Belgium is still the worst, followed by Spain and Sweden etc., and the U.S. is not any worse than Europe generally?
