Coronavirus Growth in Western Countries: May 31 Update

Here’s the coronavirus death toll through May 31. Sweden is really not looking good. Canada’s outlier is due to a big increase in deaths reported from Quebec. The UK is flat at around 4 deaths per million and the US remains flat at around 3 deaths per million.

The raw data from Johns Hopkins is here. The Public Health Agency of Sweden is here.

Fact:

In-depth journalism that investigates the powerful takes real money and is so damn important right now.But it doesn’t take a Mother Jones investigation to know that billionaires and corporations will never fund the type of reporting (like they do politicians) we do that exists to help bring about change. Instead, our mission-driven journalism is made possible by people power, and has been for 46 years now since our founding as a non-profit.

In “TITLE TK” Monica Bauerlein writes about the perilous moment we’re in, and why it’s so important that we raise $325,000 by the time November’s midterms are decided so we can be ready to throw everything we have at the big issues facing the nation no matter what happens.
