Let's go against testing rates:
491/190,337 = 0.257%
237/113,109 = 0.209%
Or total deaths against total population:
162,610/331,192,837 = 0.049%
8,963/37,774,118 = 0.023%
Next question?
First, there is no real purpose in evaluating testing numbers. There's too many possibilities for errors. (False positive/negative, same person test multiple times, etc.)
Deaths would be the best thing to study. But those numbers are being skewed. The problem with your numbers is deaths are being falsely reported as covid. My wife's daughter is a nurse in a big city hospital. The hospital gets more money if they report more covid deaths. What do you think is going to happen? I've seen reports that deaths from heart desieze have gone down drastically this year. How can this be explained? The only way to get real numbers would be to compare rates of death for the last few years to this year. Of course that won't happen till after the election.
