El país más mortífero por COVID-19 solo tuvo 699 casos confirmados y 42 muertes, pero al calcularlo por 100,000 habitantes, San Marino sigue siendo el país más mortífero del mundo por coronavirus. 124 personas de cada 100,000 murieron en San Marino hasta el momento, 68 en el Reino Unido, 43 en los Estados Unidos y 10 en Alemania.
Según la Universidad Johns Hopkins, los diez países más mortíferos para quienes se enferman de coronavirus son San Marino, Bélgica, Reino Unido, Andorra, España, Italia, Suecia, Chile, Francia y los Estados Unidos de América.
Una de las formas más importantes de medir la carga de COVID-19 es la mortalidad. Los países de todo el mundo han informado tasas de letalidad muy diferentes: el número de muertes dividido por el número de casos confirmados. Las diferencias en las cifras de mortalidad pueden deberse a:
- Diferencias en el número de personas examinadas: con más pruebas, se identifican más personas con casos más leves. Esto reduce la tasa de letalidad.
- Demografía: por ejemplo, la mortalidad tiende a ser mayor en las poblaciones de mayor edad.
- Características del sistema de salud: por ejemplo, la mortalidad puede aumentar a medida que los hospitales se abruman y tienen menos recursos.
- Otros factores, muchos de los cuales se desconocen.
