Cases are only skyrocketing inline with testing. You can see how incompetent most nations have been [1]. The handful of countries that have exceeded US testing figures all have some of the lowest CFRs:
Australia — 0.46%
Germany — 0.6%
Russia — 0.13%
South Korea — 1.41%
US — 1.43%

- seemslegit 7y agoMore aggressive testing explicitly lowers CFR, as the harder cases that will eventually die are confirmed under both strict and aggressive testing policies but the light cases are only confirmed by more expansive testing.
- 2019-nCoV 7y agoExactly my point. Rising confirmed cases is mostly just a proxy for test penetration.
