Hi Pat, probably the issue is with the denominator, not the numerator.

While the number of deaths may be fairly accurate, I expect that the number of cases is grossly under-reported.

The US has a very small sample of tests, with a fairly significant number of deaths. In Canada we've had a larger number of tests yet no deaths.

More testing will help illuminate the issues........Rod.
