Please note that Communist China somehow managed to have the lowest mortality in the world. Its low rate distorts the worldwide rate because its cases represent nearly two thirds of the cases worldwide. I do not believe their numbers. The All Others category is low primarily because most of the nations included in it had less than ten cases and could devote a significant amount of medical effort to the cases they had. Vietnam had five of the deaths in that category, all others two or less.
The numbers are taken from the July 11, 2000 WHO report.
