What’s the indices on the y axis? Also, how do we juxtapose this info with the amount of testing by country? Serious question, not trying to discredit this.

Edit: well I played around with some math from this chart: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries 10th column over Deaths/1M pop. USA is 478 per million with the best testing in the world, so 0.048% basically a bad flu. India is 28 with 4x the population and probably less widespread testing for all communities, but if that’s right we’re talking about 0.0028% per million dead. If that’s right then that’s less than the number of people who die from pneumonia in the US every year per million (roughly 1 mil out of 330 mil).
