POPULATION FACTORING

Absolute numbers present a good understanding of which regions have been severely hit by Covid-19, they don’t account for how common the infection is among the population. With more than 2 million cases, the US is the worsthit country in the world, but when you take the population into account, it doesn’t even make it to the 10 worst-hit regions. Countries like Qatar, San Marino, or Vatican City have the most number of confirmed cases when the population is factored in. India, which is on the fourth spot in total cases, ends up on the 136th spot in terms of cases per million residents
