COVID 19 Fatality Rate Change in the Past 10 Days

Here's how I know the USA is doing a very good job of catching up in testing.... our fatality rate is the only major country that has seen its fatality rate lower during the past week:
+4.14%: Netherlands (from 1.70% up to 5.84%)
+3.93%: Spain (from 3.44% up to 7.37%)
+3.59%: France (from 2.23% up to 5.82%)
+2.58%: Belgium (from 0.95% up to 3.53%)
+2.48%: Italy (from 7.71% up to 10.19%)
+1.91%: Iran (from 5.69% up to 7.60%)
+1.40%: United Kingdom (from 3.56% up to 4.96%)
+1.39%: Portugal (from 0.30% up to 1.69%)
+0.81%: Switzerland (from 0.81% up to 1.62%)
+0.51%: South Korea (from 0.91% up to 1.42%)
+0.41%: Austria (0.29% up to 0.70%)
+0.37%: Germany (from 0.23% up to 0.60%)
---------------------------------------------------
-0.44%: USA (From 1.87% down to 1.43%)
These 14 countries account for over 378,000 cases. Yet only one of these has seen their fatality rate decrease during the past 10 days.
So yes, the USA now has the most reported cases.... but this actually shows how fast the USA has caught up in testing. Our testing has kept up with the spread of the disease so that the overall fatality rate has dropped.
For all of these other countries to show a rising fatality rate despite adding more and more new cases each day, it shows they aren't testing nearly at the rate to keep up with the spread of the disease.
The Administration caught a lot of flack early on about not having enough tests, but I believe what's been accomplished in the last 10 days is actually quite remarkable, and its supported by actual stats.

Great find
What is the total number of people tested in the U.S. and what percentage of them have been negative?

Kyle,
I’d like to have your enthusiasm with now having the most cases in the World and a decreasing death rate but....many of those cases will need hospital beds eventually and some of those will need respirators. I think by this time next week (assuming growth rate becomes less “exponential”), mortality rate will actually increase. Places like Italy and Spain are likely running out of resources thus more folks are dying even with strict isolation.
Even if actual case growth declines, less resources mean more deaths. I believe that’s a lot of the theory in flattening the curve I’d like to be wrong but doubt I am.

That is the plan. The C-Virus is officially out in the wild. There isn't a whole hell of a lot we can do to stop it at this point. But by slowing down the rate of infection we keep our hospitals from being overwhelmed. At least we hope we can.
What we are also desperately hoping to avoid is the dreaded medical personnel crash which has happened in some countries. With protective gear becoming increasingly rare the chances of doctors and nurses getting the virus increases dramatically. If medical personnel begin to get sidelined than the mortality rate will begin to climb again.

Or South Korea. Both countries are trying to keep the numbers low to keep their people in order. India doesn't test very much, either, and the Mexican President as of a day or two ago was saying: "Go out and hug people, if you can eat out, eat out. Don't worry about it."
We're barely testing here at all.

Way behind on testing...more attention is given to the bigger states while less populated states, Alabama for example, dont have enough tests.
Also someone please explain to me how people who dont show symptoms are being tested for it. Actors, politicians, sports figures, etc. I've seen post after post on social media where people are coming out saying they werent symptomatic but were tested. And yet there are thousands that are symptomatic that cant get testing.

Not too hard to figure that one out: it's called money.
If you're rich and/or influential, you have access to a different health care system than the poors.
