Covid-19: European countries
We compare COVD-19 daily confirmed cases per Million population (Mpop) for July 13, 2021 as recorded by Johns Hopkins University (JHU) for European countries and compare it with various demographics

% Delta variant
I can find no delta variant data for Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria. Croatia, Cyprus, Czeck Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, or Turkey.
According to https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/224113/coronavirus-infections-rising-exponentially-england-react/ the % delta variant is increasing by a factor of 2 in 11 days.
For the US, Fauci says % delta variant is doubling in US every 2 weeks (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2021/06/22/fauci-delta-variant-doubling-in-us-every-two-weeks-in-greatest-threat-to-eradicating-covid/?sh=633ad681777d)
- The 7 day smoothed daily confirmed cases per Mpop increases with the % Delta variant, with the UK leading.
- The Pearson correlation coefficient indicates a 21% association between the daily confirmed cases per Mpop and the % Delta variant.
- See https://www.bbc.com/news/health-57489740 for a discussion of why the COVID-19 variant has spread so quickly in the UK.
The Western and Southern European nations lead in numbers of cases (NL,ES,UK, PT.MT, BE, IE,DK are all above 100 daily confirmed cases).
- For the Scandinavian countries Norway and Sweden are very similar but not Denmark. There is no % Delta variant data for Finland.
