Updating charts on the U.S. vs EU27 comparatives for COVID19 pandemic:

Note: since higher rates of testing – per 1 million population – should result in earlier and better detection of the COVID19 cases, and since the U.S. population is younger, demographically, than that of the EU27, one should expect U.S. death rates peer 1 million of population to be lower than those in the EU27. This difference should furthermore favour the U.S. due to the fact that Europe experienced much earlier onset of community contagion, when neither testing nor treatment were widely available and as accurate/effective as they are today.
