- The JHU data provided Confirmed cases for 177 countries.
- Of the top 100 countries by cumulative Confirmed cases per million population:
- 12 were from Africa out of 55 African countries with JHU cumulative Confirmed cases, or 18%
- 25 from Asia out of 50 with JHU cumulative Confirmed cases or 50%
- 39 from Europe out of 39 with JHU cumulative Confirmed cases or 100%
- 24 from America out of 31 with JHU Confirmed cases or 64%
- There are strong correlations (coefficient of determination R2 >=0.6) of cumulative Deaths per million population vs cumulative Confirmed cases per million population for Africa, Europe and America.
- Asia has a much weaker correlation (R2=0.26). Its spread is exemplified by comparing the cumulative Deaths per million population for Singapore (TLD=sg) = 4.78 with that of Iran (TLD=ir) = 472 or almost a factor of 100.
- Asia also has the lowest slope for the trendline.
- Asia also has 9 of the 11 countries with the lowest ratio of cumulative Deaths/cumulative Confirmed cases, namely: Singapore (sg), Qatar(qa), Maldives (mv), United Arab Emirates (ae), Bahrain (bh), Nepal (np) and Kuwait (kw). The other two (non Asian countries) are Botswana (bw) and Iceland (is).
