Sorry to barge in here, but you missed out Cambodia 364 cases no deaths, independently verified; and Laos less cases also no deaths. You can check www.khmertimeskh.com for Cambodian daily totals and ASEAN countires. 202.62.41.81 ( talk) 10:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Updating the table (without flags and country links) is quick and easy. Copy the table right off the John Hopkins source page. Paste it into tab2wiki. Uncheck all the boxes except "Compress table". Click "Do it". Copy wikitext to COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country. Keep existing header wikitext. Change date. Done. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 08:39, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
@ Timeshifter: I'm interested in the way you managed to get the table updating — it'd be helpful to have that sort of functionality for other COVID-related tables, and more importantly on Wikidata so that other language editions can use them, too.
Regarding this page, though, I think it would be better to add your table to one of the existing integrated pages, rather than creating a new one. Readers are being overwhelmed with similarly-named pages — the deaths section of the pandemic article now has hatnotes for four pages ( COVID-19 pandemic deaths, Mortality due to COVID-19, COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country, and List of deaths due to COVID-19), none of which are all that easily distinguishable by their title alone. There's also country-specific death information at COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory. Could you find a way to do that? Unless there's some justification I'm missing, I'm going to have to nominate this page for deletion if it sticks around. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 16:49, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
We need a note on the table saying what nan stands for (I've no idea, and I'm sure a lot of other readers don't know either). It certainly should be a number, so it's not NaN. Grutness... wha? 14:50, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
If it's easiest to just update the raw table, then moving it to a template at Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country allows articles that include the table, such as this one, to style the table using template styles. I've created a template to hold the styles at Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country/styles.css with some example styling that can be easily modified. -- RexxS ( talk) 20:36, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
Can someone please make the table(s) of countries alphabetical? And what means: "nan"? -- Corriebertus ( talk) 13:14, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Any chance of adding a column like that? For comparing countries, only rates give an accurate comparison, not actual numbers. (Otherwise, a tiny country would look like it was succeeding marvelously, even if almost its entire population was getting infected, or dying, or whatever else was being compared.)
Thanks. Sorry that I don't know how to do this.

Just scanning the table, it seems to me some of the poorer countries don't have complete data sets on the pandemic within their borders, thus skewing the results. If my hunch is correct, and someone can prove it, we should prominently display a disclaimer at the top of the article. YoPienso ( talk) 00:49, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Sorry if this is a bad place to ask such questions, but if the former is the case, at least one country (Lithuania) on the list should be revised, because unfortunately the authorities have been conflating the two (COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2) in their public announcements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.29.26.98 ( talk) 12:35, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
The Czech Republic, which has one of the highest Covid death rates on the planet, appears to be missing from the table - who has removed it? And the Mexican figures are out of date - as the government of Mexico has now admitted that the Covid death rate in Mexico is much higher than was first reported. 176.25.16.91 ( talk) 08:01, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
There was an example that claimed to show the difference in CFRs between age groups, but the numbers that were used were the estimated IFRs and not the CFRs. I fixed it for now by getting the proper data, but I had to bin them ('binning' as in merge, not trash) because it was split into 9 age groups which is just too much for a simple example.
If anything else thinks it's valuable; here's the full table:
Age Group | Count of cases | Count of deaths | CFR |
---|---|---|---|
0-4 Years | 515511 | 128 | 0.025% |
5-17 Years | 2520482 | 315 | 0.012% |
18-29 Years | 5649988 | 2251 | 0.040% |
30-39 Years | 4124336 | 5181 | 0.126% |
40-49 Years | 3742933 | 12692 | 0.339% |
50-64 Years | 5140444 | 65630 | 1.277% |
65-74 Years | 1905284 | 94923 | 4.982% |
75-84 Years | 989797 | 122134 | 12.339% |

Where have the death rates gone? An article about death rates by country doesn't make sense without the death rates. Please readd them to the table. -- 212.25.6.254 ( talk) 21:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Not sure if it's my imagination, but I'm pretty sure until recently "World" didn't have a number against it in the left-hand column (which I assume is a simple ranking). This would make sense, since "World" is always at the top. The rank is one of the most impactful and quotable columns (country **** is the ****th worse for xxx), but is now compromised (e.g. at the time of writing, it appears that Romania has the 10th worst rate of deaths, rather than the 9th).
If this has been a glitch of some sort and someone is looking at changing it back, it would be useful to exclude the rank number for the European Union as well - it's interesting to see the grouping but (especially as it moves up the table) misleading. I understand this might be a different issue, since the EU number is sorted with the rest of the data rather than remaining distinct at the top. — Preceding

Now excess death data has been published, and objection from adding it to this page (excess deaths are often cited as most reliable comparison). https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02796-3/fulltext https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-new-data-shows-fullest-picture-yet-of-deaths-during-the-pandemic-12572639 09:49, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
Excess deaths have also been claimed to have been caused by lock-downs and people not getting hospital care or exams for heart and cancer conditions. One source of such a claim is Scott Atlas, 2021, "Science, Politics, and COVID: Will Truth Prevail?" Imprimis 50(2):1-7; e.g., "A recent study confirms that up to 78 percent of cancers were never detected due to missed screening over a three-month period. If one extrapolates to the entire . . . [U.S.], 750,000 to over a million new cancer cases over a nine-month period will have gone undetected," p.2.), but Wikipedia considers him unreliable. Kdammers ( talk) 23:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
