Sweden has now passed Switzerland (which saw a severe early outbreak along its border area with northern Italy) in both total coronavirus deaths and death rate per million. It also now has a higher death rate per capita than the US.

Unlike Switzerland, whose number of active cases is clearly coming down, Sweden's continues to steadily rise, and its daily death toll just hit a new high.

The number of active cases in Italy appears to have finally peaked and started to decline.

In Italy, nearly 1/3 of closed cases resulted in death. But only 2% of now-active cases are serious or critical.

In Spain, the active number of cases may finally be leveling off.

The number of daily new deaths in Spain has also steadily declined, since peaking on April 2.

In contrast, the number of active cases in the UK continues to steadily rise, while the daily number of deaths remains not far off from its peak.

The number of active cases in Germany is clearly on the decline, and though the daily number of death hasn't fallen off quite so noticeably, the mortality rate of resolved cases there is only 5%.

Here are countries currently ranked by their per capita rate of coronavirus-attributed deaths:

And here's more of that chart, as the per capita rate goes down:

I present these only as relative comparisons among countries whose numbers can be relied upon. It's not a complete global comparison, in the sense that many countries would probably rank higher if their numbers were more comprehensive and accurate.
