I was curious, so I took the stats from the
worldometer site the other day for the US and the states. The numbers presented are mostly raw numbers and can be difficult to compare.
In the US, there have been ~800k positivi cases and ~42k deaths.
That works out to a 5.4% of cases resulting in death. ~.2% of the population of the US has been confirmed positive. Of the folks that have been tested in the US ~20% have been positive. And ~1.2% of the US pop has been tested.
US 5.4% death, 20% test positive
NY 7.5% death, 40% test positive
NJ 4.9% death, 49% test positive
CA 3.6% death, 12% test positive
TX 2.5% death, 10% test positive
Highest death rate, Michigan at 7.7%, lowest is SD at 2%.
