Log log per capita

For fun I decided to recreate the log log chart I showed in my last post, but modify it using per capita deaths. Here is the result:

The highest country is tiny San Marino with 41 deaths in March and April and one death in May. The second highest is the US. What I find interesting about this graph is, no country in the world is getting over 1/1000 per capita deaths without curving down.

This suggests one way to think about the effect of Covid: out of every thousand people, it kills one (usually with underlying health issues).
