After doing a check on the stats, The UK's CFR% is actually higher than Canada's. UK's CFR% is 3.6%. Canada's is 3.26%. UK's test positivity rate is 3.8%, Canada's 3.24%. And this is despite UK doing 109% more tests per capita than we do. Because the contagion has spread far more in the UK than here. While the UK has 1,617,327 confirmed cases, the true number of infected is likely far larger in the UK. So while the CFR% is high in the UK, the IFR% is far lower.
Aside from potentially shady developing countries under-counting death tolls, there isn't a single nation of earth that has a died with COVID by pop rate of more than 0.1418% after 9 months of this "pandemic". And that nation is Belgium, where nearly 26% of the population is 60+ and 14% of the population is 70+ (COVID's "target demographic").
