Death rate = the total number of deaths in country to date due to covid-19 divided by its population, they're tabulated at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ as deaths/million pop updated every day. The total case numbers for each country is a very unreliable stat since no one has tested its entire population for infection. S.Korea has tested 8,875 per million of its citizens and there are many countries that have done more, but none has reached even 2% of its population. Total deaths due to CoV-19 is a much more accurate indicator of the virus’ advance. These can be reasonably examined for differences North (winter-spring) vs South (summer), but clearly the Asian group (including Russia?) must be factored out. Member nations of this group clearly have better systems of social defense to CoV-19 (or they simply lie; what’s the opposite of Pravda?) It’s important to remember these data are just a snapshot in time (today) and all began at slightly different times and will continue to increase (or not change) until . . .

This coronavirus is spread worldwide, but it seems not to thrive equally well in all climates. Countries south of the Tropic of Capricorn were experiencing the end of summer, generally hot & sunny and their death rates remain lower than those above the Tropic of Cancer (except for Asia & Russia, as mentioned). These molecular capsules of RNA could very well be vulnerable to heat & solar radiation. Where the concentration of these particles of evil dust are lower, the severity of infection will be less. Too many at once will overwhelm your immune system's ability to fight back. So in a hot, dry & sunny environment like Tucson, you could expect there to be fewer active on surfaces & airborne, versus indoors in AC like hospitals with several carriers shedding virus simultaneously.
Panama & Ecuador are outliers in the Latin American group. Both are dollar based economies with busy international ports, where crews from around the world disembark to get laid and spread the joy.
