Pandemic Perspective:

COVID-19 world-wide infections: 2,910,649
Deaths: 202,854

The 1918 world-wide flu pandemic infected 500 million people (a third of the world’s population at the time),resulting in 50 million deaths over a period of three years,ending a hundred years ago in December 1920.

“If you’re asking why the death rate from covid-19

in the U.S. is so high and the rate in Germany so low,

it’s because their chancellor used to be a quantum chemist and your president used to be a reality television star.”

The U.S. has tested 13,000 people per million – Germany 25,000 people per million. Deaths in Germany are 63 people per million; deaths in the U.S. are 144 per million.
