 Mercosur countries 8/14/2020

The  Mercorsur (or Southern Common Market) countries (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercosur)  here include Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile and I have added Venezuela.

Confirmed cases per million populationDeaths per million population
To assist in showing the deaths for those countries with lower numbers of %(deaths/ million population) we take the log base 10 of the y axis.Deaths/confirmed cases

Observations:

  • Chile and Brazil followed by Argentina lead in terms of both confirmed cases and deaths. 
  • For the ratio deaths/confirmed cases Brazil takes the lead followed by a dead heat between Uruguay and Chile followed, in turn, by Argentina.
  • In terms of the ratio deaths/confirmed cases:
    •  Brazil, Argentina and Chile passed their peak in the April May time-frame. 
    • Then in June Chile started rising again, passed the first peak and continued rising.
    • Uruguay has remained fairly constant since May.
    • Argentina and Paraguay appear to be seeing an increase again in August.
    • Venezuela appears to have rapidly reduced the ratio and held it steady at about 1% since May. It also appears to have the lowest reported deaths. This is strange given the concerns over the Venezuelan Health care system and the impact of international sanctions (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Venezuela)
