" With a larger population, you're always going to have larger mortality rates for almost every illness." Mortality rate is expressed as deaths per thousand, or hundred thousand etc. It is a relative measure and should not be affected by population size.

So, I'm puzzled.  If this is true, why is the global recovery rate for coronavirus at an 80% level, while in the US it is only barely above 60%?
