The USA COVID cased grew at 28x the rate of Chile during Chile's flu season.
The USA has 17x the population of Chile.
28x > 17x because you cannot do the math.
now do deaths per capita.
obvi rich countries like the US can test a lot more than poorer countries so case counts aren't apples to apples USA-South America.
No reason to do that because you are comparing apples (winter illness season) and oranges (not winter illness season). Statistically a dumb correlation.
More deaths are expect to occur during winter illness season. Didn't you know that? You would NOT compare different illness seasons against each other. Like seasons, yes.
The point is still entirely lost to you. Higher number of cases during non-winter illness season in the U.S. translates to more expected deaths when winter illness season starts.
I have duly noted that you are a troll playing both sides, who takes on certain "analyses" and defenses that support the Trump world view.
The bottom line is: The U.S. will far exceed that death rates due to COVID this coming flu season.
