Here’s the coronavirus death toll through October 30. The raw data from Johns Hopkins is here.
A reader suggested standardizing the country populations that I use to calculate deaths per million. That sounded reasonable, so I’m now using the UN estimates for July 2019 across the board. This had only a minor effect, but it’s the reason, for example, that the UK’s death rate declined today.
