Numbers per country in general are really hard to evaluate as there is no standard for anything.
Confirmed cases: heavily dependent on tested people. 1500 in US vs 100k in S. Korea makes the comparison useless.
Also, who is tested?
In Italy they started testing only symptomatic people after a while.
China has changed the parameters a few times in these last weeks.
Deaths: are all deceased people tested?
Recoveries: what constitutes as a recovery? Highly variable on a per country basis.
I wonder if WHO has published some standards.
