Comparatively, in April this year when we last looked the global rate was 2.18% and Asia led the way with the lowest CMR at 1.50% while South America was 2.61%. Both charts are below (April is the first one).

Looking at some individual countries, Peru is still far and away the worst with 8.971% and that's much worse than the 3.364% it was in April. Elsewhere,m Australia has dropped from 3.102% to 0.936%; the UK from 2.916% to 1.381% while Brazil and Spain have both increased. April is the first chart again.

Finally, the case and mortality rates per 100k of population.
Cases/100k:
Back in April, the global rate was 2,308/100k and as you'd expect, it has climbed to 4,767/100k with Australia going from 153 to 1,225 which is the largest percentage gain.

Deaths/100k:
Back in April, the global rate was just over 50/100k and as you'd expect, it has climbed to 94/100k with Australia going from 5 to 11 while Russia has the largest percentage gain.

Hey Russ
As you know I am a dumb grunt.
I don't quite understand all the terms and stats.
The one I do understand though is what % of population have died from Covid.
Am I right in suggesting that the graphs show a covid death % rate of 1.5% to 3% of the population?
It begs the question therefore, how does covid compare to normal 'flu?
The has been a French study
Findings 89 530 patients with COVID-19 and 45 819 patients with influenza were hospitalised in France during the respective study periods. The median age of patients was 68 years (IQR 52–82) for COVID-19 and 71 years (34–84) for influenza.
Patients with COVID-19 were more frequently obese or overweight, and more frequently had diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia than patients with influenza, whereas those with influenza more frequently had heart failure, chronic respiratory disease, cirrhosis, and deficiency anaemia.
Patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 more frequently developed acute respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, septic shock, or haemorrhagic
stroke than patients with influenza, but less frequently developed myocardial infarction or atrial fibrillation.
In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with COVID-19 than in patients with influenza (15 104 [16·9%] of 89530 vs 2640 [5·8%] of 45819), with a relative risk of death of 2·9 (95% CI 2·8–3·0) and an age-standardised
mortality ratio of 2·82.
Of the patients hospitalised, the proportion of paediatric patients (<18 years) was smaller for COVID-19 than for influenza (1227 [1·4%] vs 8942 [19·5%]), but a larger proportion of patients younger than 5 years needed intensive care support for COVID-19 than for influenza (14 [2·3%] of 613 vs 65 [0·9%] of 6973).
In adolescents (11–17 years), the in-hospital mortality was ten-times higher for COVID-19 than for influenza (five [1·1% of 458 vs one [0·1%] of 804), and patients with COVID-19 were more frequently obese or overweight.
