This application is showing absolute value (from the very beginning) of cases per million (CPM). It would be better and more clear for a user, if it was showing current cases of infected people per milion in a country.

Actual result

  • values in table column 5 (application CPM) calculated by 'Total Cases / country population'

Expected result

  • values in table column 6 (real CPM) calculated by 'Active Cases / country population'
Coutry Population Total Cases Active Cases application CPM real CPM
India 1 352,6 mln 31 332 159 408 950 22 471 302
USA 331,4 mln 35 283 075 5 158 542 105 937 15 565
Brazil 210,1 mln 19 632 443 752 561 91 673 3 581
Poland 38,2 mln 2 882 066 153 604 76 240 4 021
Czech Republic 1 672 340 10,7 mln 3 372 155 856 315
Denmark 5,8 mln 310 127 11 868 53 343 2 046

(table data from 24.7. 2021)

Population numbers are taken from Wikipedia. Active cases and application CPM numbers is what the application is showing. And last column real CPM is what it should be showing. As you can see, the numbers are diametrically different.

You are calculating CPM by dividing Total Cases by country population, but you should divide Active Cases instead so the information is more relevant. Or just put there another variable with this value.
