    The current death rate from Corona alone for some areas :

    Spain : 18
    Italy : 15
    State of New York : 14
    USA : 1.6
    Norway : 0.8
    Canada, Australia ~ 0.1
    ... some facts that we have known about for a while now concerning the corona crisis in Australia (including the latest figures):

    -Confirmed corona cases: 6462 – the curve has clearly been flattened.
    -Deaths attributed to corona: 63 – the curve has clearly been flattened.
    -As of April 15, our recovery rate was 98.32 per cent.

    Others have been running with the following figures:
    -Death rate: 0.98 per cent.
    -Mild cases: 97 per cent of total detected.
    -ICU beds in use: 1.1 per cent. (ref)

    Connecticut hit 55 yesterday and Belgium is close to 40 today. Italy and Spain are coming down but they were never that bad as a whole, it was mostly Lombardia and Madrid which were at one point at New York levels.

    The next country : Brazil ?

    Brazil had 407 deaths from the virus yesterday. It's a country of just over 200 million inhabitants so that takes it to 2.0 on my scale which isn't alarming. The question is where it will end. Mexico has also been over 100 deaths in one day.

    This is an interesting development. Yesterday there were no countries anywhere that went over 10. The tristate area still is but it's presently under 20.

    800+ deaths in Brazil yesterday. Especially the North is affected, both the coastal region and the inland Amazon region. Some of the cities in the Amazon have NY death rates. These are warm lowlands near the Equator so the theory that the virus doesn't spread in a warm climate clearly doesn't hold.
