- hef19898 7y agoThe interesting question is now why regions like Wuhan and Italy stand out while South Korea is sitting at the opposite side of the scale. From what I understood the true mortality rate can only reliably be established after the pandemic. During it is moving target. Now, this uncertainty is something normal it seems. I can live with that. What I would love, so, is a breakdown by age group, gender, preexisting conditions and so on. Also how these groups are overall represented in the population of the individual regions. Then at least we would have a first indication if certain groups are overrepresented or not. Reducing COVID-19 to just one overall percentage number is insufficient I think. But yes, Italy stands out.
