In the previous write-up, we experienced that despite having a high population, some countries could prevent corona spread in their own countries. On the contrary, some countries although had low population could not save their people from the corona infection.
In that writing up I concluded that the corona spread in a certain country depended mostly on the maintenance or obeying social distance. The second attribute of the corona expansion in the country, I mentioned, is the immunity of the people.
So, the blame for the spreading corona must not go to the government, but also to the citizens and the inherent capability of the patient to resist corona's infection. This inherent capacity is expressed by the antibody synthesized in the body of the people which varies from man to man, profession to profession or the social groups of the citizens, or even gender to gender.
Well to me, one parameter of the corona management was the number of infected persons in proportion to the total population. And the second parameter of measuring the corona management capability is the number of casualties in proportion to the infected persons. To me this should be the main parameter by which we can measure the ultimate capacity of the country although like the infection percentage, this death also varies depending on the survival ability of the individual patients.
The death of the infected persons can mainly be avoided by giving proper treatment in hospital or at home. The availability of the treatment of the corona patients in the hospital varies depending on the financial and medical facility of the individual country. This survival capacity is also dependent on the immunity capacity of the patients. Well, this is on the basis of my limited knowledge on these matters. Physicians and medical researchers can explain the matters very clearly.
The death rate per 2000 infected persons that I determined from the data of worldometers.info which were recorded on second May of 2020. But in the meantime, the total cases and the death statistics had changed. In general, in Europe both the incidence and death rate have had the downward trend although Russia and some other countries are suffering from the continued increasing trend in both the parameters.
Again, in this write up I included those countries which had total corona cases of above 10 thousand. This parameter has also change in the meantime after second May of 2020. For example, on second May, Bangladesh had its total corona infected patients below 10 thousands, but this is now over 11 thousands on this day of 6th May.
Well on the basis of the statistics of the second May, I have grouped the countries having the number of dead persons due to corona in proportion to the 2000 infected cases. On this consideration, Qatar had the least death which was 1.61 per 2000 of its total corona patients and this was followed by Singapore showing 1.82 persons dead out of 2000 corona cases. This two countries surely managed corona disease saving the most of their corona patients giving proper treatments in the hospital.
Many countries had death rate between 10 and 30. Two countries had death around 10 per 2000 of the cases and the countries were Indonesia (10.84) and South Korea (10.74). Another two countries had death rate below 15 per 2000 cases such as Belarus (12.26) and Saudi Arabia (13.63). Again, another two countries lost its person per 2000 of the cases between 15 and 20 such as UAE (17.30) and Russia (19.70). Israel had death rate above 20 (28.11) per 2000 of its corona infected persons.
The death rate between 40 and 50 per 2000 cases were observed in three countries such as Pakistan (46.04), South Korea (46.38) and Ukraine (48.90). Turkey along with Peru had a higher death rate between 50 and 60 per 2000 corona patients as were shown by Turkey - 53.24 and Peru - 55.56.
Two countries suffered from losing 63.61 and 65.51 patients per 2000 patients and those are Japan and India, respectively. Australia suffered a bit worse losing its 76.62 persons out of 2000 corona patients.
Four countries had death rate between 80 and 100 per 2000 corona patients such as Portugal (80.71), Ecuador (80.73), Germany (82.11) and Poland (99.29).
China, USA, Iran, Canada, Romania, Switzerland and Ireland had the death rates per 2000 cases between 100 and 130. It is to be mentioned that the USA had the highest corona cases of 1132 thousand in different of its states of which the most was in the New York city. Indonesia and Brazil had the death rate between 130 and 160 per their 2000 corona patients.
The severe cases were seen in some countries which had the death rate around 200 out of 2000 patients such as Mexico (190.17) and Spain (204.42). It is also to be remembered that Spain had the second highest cases (245.567 thousand) of the corona infection after the USA.
More severe death rate was found in two countries nearing 250 Netherland (247.89) and Sweden (241.74). Italy had a higher death rate (272.25) than those of Neteerland and Sweded. The Italy had also the third highest infection cases (208 thousand).
The worst death rates were recorded in France (293.93), UK (310.05) and Belgium (313.63). The UK, Germany and France had also the corona cases between 160-180 thousand which were in the third groups having the most corona infection cases.
