#covid19 infected per capita yesterday. In just a few days my country of birth Iceland went from 0 cases to 14, putting it on par with Italy. Most of these cases came indeed from one group on a ski-ing trip in Italy. Goes to show how quickly things can change with this outbreak. 
N.b. The heading is in Icelandic and translated is roughly "Covid-19 infected people per million inhabitants"
Far out - just read that Iceland is up to 20 cases = 54 per million people - or nearly the same as China! Two "positives" so far: no-one seriously sick (and no deaths) and all cases so far from people that had been travelling (no in-community transmission so far).
The one "negative" is for the rest of the world: Iceland's small population etc has made the testing regime very effective and thorough. But, this could mean the real number in many bigger nations is a lot higher - just that they can't test "most travellers" etc like Iceland does
