When looking at the bar graph it is evident that the two largest countries have the highest infection rate. Nevertheless, when analyzing Japan’s figures, which is a highly populated country, the data surprisingly depicts a low infection rate.
The majority of the EU countries (Italy, France and Spain) show a low count of confirmed cases, this would usually be expected due a lower population rate, however the UK and Germany surprisingly rank 3rd and 4th highest in confirmed cases
Generally rules govern the denser the population, the higher probability and percentage of increased cases, however the graph illustrates this isn’t always the case that highly populated countries would be affected by swine flu.
