STOP TALKING LIES AND NONSENSE. THERE IS NO WAY OF COMPARING DEATH RATES.

Eg Two countries with 100m population and 10,000 deaths. Country A only tested the 10,000 that died, country B tested 10% of their population. Country A would have a death rate of 100% of cases, country B would be 0.1%.

Eg Country X had 100 people bringing it into the country, whereas country Y only had 10 people. which country is going to have the more cases?

That is before you factor in all sorts of complicating issues, mainly related to group behaviours in those countries. Eg if religious groups are in the habit of gathering in large groups, then guess what, it's more likely to spread within that group and beyond.
