•National average IFR variation well over an order of magnitude •Range from 0.06% (Uganda) to 1.2% (Japan) • •Clear regional separation of mortality and predicted spread of infections •South America showing infections spread 20-40% •Europe and North America with infections spread 2-20% •Significant internal European variability •Sub-Saharan Africa very low levels of infection spread (<2%) with exception South Africa which has much higher age distribution •Limited infection spread in East Asia and SE Asia (<5%) • •Hypothesised proportion of population infected mostly higher than reported sero-prevalence data • •Explanations, other than spread of infection, for regional variations in mortality levels might be a combination of: data imperfections, seasonal variations, variability in public health controls, differences in level of prior immunity from exposure to other seasonal coronaviruses, socio-economic differences, and prevalence of other co-morbidities
