Bingo! Comparing deaths per million inhabitants only makes sense after the virus has run its course everywhere, so why do you insist on using it?

Two weeks ago you used a variety of statistics, so why do you now insist on only using this one?

Is it anything to do with the fact that it's the only statistic that gives a (falsely) positive impression of the situation in the countries where the virus took hold last, and where you like the political leaders - Boris and Trump?

And if you really want to use it, why not use it to compare countries at the same point in the spread of the virus, ie same number of days after first (pick a number) deaths? That might actually be a statistically useful comparison.
