Total Covid Deaths and Percent Reported for the Most Populous Countries

Total Covid Deaths and Percent Reported for the Most Populous Countries

The WHO is working on a report on Covid Total Deaths in countries in contrast to the Reported Deaths in many countries.  It is based on the IHME report, but is so far blocked from release by India.  However, I looked up the top twenty in population, to report on their Total Deaths, their Percent Reported as of April 18, and the Total Death Rate per 100,000.  That is reported in the table below, starting with the Population Rank, the Country Name, and their Population in millions.  All of this is from their run of April 7, 2022, but I start on their projection for the Percent Reported for the date of April 18 to make it current, and use their latest projection date of August 1, 2020 for the Total Deaths and Per 100k columns.  Fortunately, there are very few projected Covid deaths in the future.

Rank Country Pop. Million Deaths % Rep. Per 100k
0 World 7,752 17.4 m 40% 225
1 China 1,448 169 k 100% 12
2 India 1,380 3.65 m 14% 265
3 USA 329 1.27 m 79% 385
4 Indonesia 274 680 k 23% 248
5 Pakistan 230 605 k 5.1% 264
6 Nigeria 217 170 k 1.8% 79
7 Brazil 215 791 k 85% 367
8 Bangladesh 168 367 k 8.0% 218
9 Russia 146 771 k 100% 529
10 Mexico 132 742 k 61% 564
11 Japan 126 160 k 19% 128
12 Ethiopia 121 194 k 3.9% 160
13 Philippines 113 175 k 34% 156
14 Egypt 102 263 k 9.6% 257
15 Viet Nam 97 86 k 54% 84
16 DR Congo 95 99 k 1.4% 104
17 Iran 84 254 k 56% 302
18 Turkey 84 195 k 51% 232
19 Germany 84 230 k 61% 274
20 Thailand 70 39 k 71% 56
37 Afghanistan 39 171 k 4.5% 441
41 Saudi Ara. 35 28.9 k 31% 83
50 Venezuela 29 9.5 k 61% 32
UAE 9.9 9.2 k 25% 93

If you don’t like the results for your country, please remember, I am just the reporter.

While Mexico and Russia  have the worst rates per 100,000 in the top 20 of population, the US is next, just ahead of Brazil.  That is not good, considering that we had the best vaccines, and open media knowledge.  We were plagued by politicization, malinformation, and health care inequities, though.

The nearby date of April 18 is used for the reporting ratio, since we do not know what the future holds.  The Total Deaths column and the Deaths Per 100,000 column are from the projections for August 1.

More details are shown for 10 countries in the previous article, and for China in the article previous to that.
