Defaults to log-log, which isn't terribly helpful.
Also, "GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP). PPP GDP is gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates": that's also likely to trip people up.
It would seem that the most likely explanation is that richer countries are better at confirming deaths? Or that small, dense urban microstates did badly? (Hong Kong the massive outlier)

Poorer countries are likely to have a heavily-young population pyramid? Less likely to have lots of long-range travel?
It might be interesting to replot these vs median age.
(I prefer log-log as none of the scatter gets smushed; what would you prefer?)
