Error bars The error bars represent a bootstrapped (one million re-samplings) 95% (percentile) confidence-interval for the mean mortality rate (# of deaths/# of cases)
Plot: Generated in R using the following packages: ggplot2, wesanderson n = sample size (# of cases)
NOTE: These plots are based simply on data as provided by the cited sources. Obviously, the rate of mortality is going to vary according to the location of and the care-received for each patient.

I’d love to see rates of severe (but non-fatal) cases as well.
