I think my representation of the statistics totally explains the variances in deaths per million. How you can deny that leaves me bemused.

My point is that it highlights the fact that
testing wasn't the reason for that and other variations. You simply cannot compare countries or areas by population size or area.
My point about population density also still stands. Doesn't matter what the size of the country or population, the population can still be crammed into small areas. Eg is the population of Australia uniformly spread, or is there heavy concentrations in cities? Around 1.4m of the 5.5m population of Scotland live in just 4 cities.
There are examples around the world where small and remote areas have been heavily infected compared to the larger surrounding area.

- In McKinley County, which covers Gallup, there are 1,064 cases of the virus and there have been 20 deaths, more than 30 percent of the state's total cases

The numbers may be relatively small, but the proportion is high.
