@Rob high infection rate. Strangely low death rate

Either deaths are misreported or indian immune systems are curbstomping the virus

Perhaps it's because the infections are recent. Misreporting is my other hypothesis.

It's also possible it's a more infectious though less lethal strain

Hypothesis, tests are available but hospital places are not, and people die at home

@JourneymanGeek True. If you sort on the "Deaths / 1M pop." they are 82nd, and if you sort on the "1 Death every X ppl" they fall to 109th. --- I agree with @JohnDvorak, something is odd.

That's ... not how math works, is it?

The prior chart was sorted by "New cases" (which is somewhat the closest to what @Sha was talking about - that site doesn't report exactly what he referred to), in which India placed first - an important statistic as it determines the 'explosion rate' (unless they have remarkably low transmission rates).

wouldn't new cases per pop be more telling?

@JohnDvorak What is the "that's" you refer to, and who's (or which) "math" ?

I would expect deaths per 100mil to be inversely proportional to people per death

The chart only has certain columns, and you can click to sort - there isn't additional features.

therefore deaths per pop and pops per death should produce the same sort order up to direction. Except for countries with negative death rates of course.

@JohnDvorak Each country has a largely different value. Some countries have "social distancing" which the residents observe, good medical and hospital capacity, relatively few cases, resulting in fewer who are ill and thus fewer deaths - while some countries have the opposite. --- You can compare a country to itself on multiple variables but really can only compare 'country to country' on one possibility two columns when the number of variables are different.

To put in a statistic that won't offend anyone some countries have more children than others as a percentage of the population, children seem to be less affected; therefore those countries, even with higher infections (or daily increases), would have fewer deaths. A more controversial comment is that different ethnicities are affected by the virus differently.

do we have any statistics regarding the latter?

@JohnDvorak The Definitions section provides a puny amount of information on what some of the columns mean.

@JohnDvorak zombie apocalypse?

@Catija or bad data

There's important differences between countries, that affects the outcome. One example:

> "According to the OECD, India has just 0.5 hospital beds for every 1,000 people, for example -- China, by comparison, has 4.3 beds." --- Source: ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/…

Life!

@Rob yeah, it's never simple, but our local media kept saying we're the worst in the world, maybe just to bash the PM though, which they try without success to take down for 10 years.

Report: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/354130/…

Although I'm still learning :D

That's how to report without the !!/ report function.

@Ollie it was already caught by SmokeDetector

@MetaAndrewT. Good.

New troll? meta.stackexchange.com/questions/354132/…

Well, I'm going now

Take care of the troll. (?)

@ShadowWizardWearingMask There are some concerns with the data they have but they claim to go to great lengths to verify it from multiple sources. If the government and local media work against each other (or in some cases, together) it becomes another source of error if the numbers have a slant to them.

@Ollie eww yeah, hopefully they won't come back.

Am I fortunate enough not to have enough rep to see that post? :D

(not enough "enough" words)

@MetaAndrewT. Its quite boring

welp :/

Trolls/ragers aren't very creative nowadays.

If an answer gets migrated along with the question it's attached to, will it also lose all the points it got?

@Ollie it will get the points on the migrated site

Ah.

So they will gain the reputation for the account on the destination site?

Yes

@M.A.R. I found your firecrackers:

@ShadowWizardWearingMask pure curiosity: How many flags have you raised on a single post, including answers, comments etc. etc.?

Or everyone, for that matter.

4-5 all accepted; maybe one more ...

Nine here.

In about as many minutes :D

Probably about 30. Or more. Over 100 if you count across all comments on all the answers on the question.

Wow.

(But I'm not searching through 5,000 flags to find the exact posts.)

@Ollie IPS HNQ comments were something else.

IPS still has ~33k comments, which is over double similarly-sized SE sites.

@Ollie At minimum wage that costs 3 day's pay for 20 seconds of: youtu.be/kzSEByAnyig

I'll be going now

Ta!

Happy ho... ugh, wrong day...

@Ollie what do you mean "on a single post"? Can't cast more than one on a post.

Only around 4-5 and all on comments, because if more than that... it would be possibly declined and asked to flag the post requesting for comment clean-up instead...
