I would like to promote NZ at ranking near the top, but I know an edit will be removed without citation. Would anyone know where this reference be found? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.226.148.187 (talk) 09:57, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The rankings already llisted are ones which are updated annually or even less frequently. Rankings do not usually change very much even over those time periods. The pandemic is different, with the ranking of countries, whether measured by cases, deaths, or cases/deaths per million, changing substantially over relatively short periods of time. There's also the problem that countries report cases and deaths according to different criteria from each other; some include suspected cases in their totals, some only include deaths in hospitals and rest homes, some may minimise the figures, and some just don't know because there's little testing. The Wikipedia article which provides maps and tables comparing countries is COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory. In short, I don't think it should be covered here.-gadfium 19:38, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
