> Some countries like Italy saw a much higher mortality rate, nearing 15% in Italy, I believe, but that was due to the breakdown of the overwhelmed health services That's one factor. France and Britain have such extreme mortality rates vs case counts because of their very poor testing rates (which has been openly admitted by both nations, this isn't my opinion). Germany's mortality rate is so relatively low in part because of their vast testing program caught a lot more cases. Britain has probably had between 5x-10x the positive cases that they've reported up to this point. They were only able to test 12,750 people per day as of a week ago. That's a minimum of 1/10th the rate they needed to be at. If the US has had 600,000 positive cases, it really has had 3+ million cases, given the poor rate of testing.
