Why do western countries want to hide their Covid Case Fatality Ratios ?

Case Fatality Ratio, (CFR), especially in the case of a world wide pandemic, is the ratio of number of deaths to the total numbers infected.

Covid 19 CFR of continents (from worldometer data, 28 August, 2020)

 

Europe               5.9%

North America   3.7%

South America   3.2%

Africa                  2.4%

Australia             2.3%

Asia                     2%.

US has Covid CFR of 3.1% while for India it is 1.8%. 

 

It is surprising to find the developed countries of Europe and US are suffering maximum casualties. But why ??  Shameful on the medical community of these countries ..

Why are western governments and pharma companies downplaying these crucial data ? Is it out of shame and fear of reprisal from their own people? Or the fact that other countries of the world would look down on these countries for hiding their fatality data during Covid ?

President Trump was saying that he was going to reduce the testing, to bring down these numbers and classify some of the Covid deaths as normal deaths, but eventually the pressure would rise and untruths will be uncovered. 

Why is it that ancient eastern cultures and civilizations have taken the lead in critical healthcare and left the economically developed western countries suffer the ignominy of poor healthcare and gasping for breath?

There is another argument that democracies will suffer more deaths than dictatorships or oligarchies .. But why ?

 

The coming days will expose more of these truths.
