COVID 19 Analysis

As of March 4th, at 1800 GMT, here are the countries with reported cases of 100 or above.  I have added up deaths and those considered in serious condition.  In addition, I calculated the percentage of those cases for each country, except for Iran, which isn't reporting serious cases for whatever reason.

Conclusions:

1.  China, Italy, Japan and the United States have the highest percentages for the combination of Deaths and Serious cases versus Reported Cases.

2.  Germany, South Korea and Spain have a much lower percentage for Deaths and Serious cases versus Reported cases.

3.  Why does Italy, Japan and the United States have a much higher percentage versus Germany. South Korea and Spain?  Is it because there are a lot more cases out there that haven't been reported or has the the virus mutated into something more deadly?
