BREAKING: Coronavirus Update. Significant decline in daily new cases in South Korea--positive sign of gaining control. Iran has first decline, too soon to make conclusions. Europe and US new cases growing rapidly. More in the next tweet.
Growth dynamics of European countries are remarkably consistent (attached) and radiating outward from Italy. One positive is the curves are not linear (log plot) so the outbreak growth rate is decreasing (curving down).

UK and US are different, their growth is accelerating.
Global dynamics shows widespread explosive growth. India reported today 22 new cases including 15 Italian tourists (tomorrow's report).

China's is boring in a good way. Note: Of recent cases 20 are low risk because they are quarantined for 14 days as high risk travelers
It's incredibly important that South Korea appears to have stopped the outbreak. Many are saying that what China did to stop the outbreak is only possible in China, but South Korea used the same methods. If they succeed, others may adopt them too. A few more days to confirm.
The most important thing, of course, is that lives are being saved in South Korea. The point is that they are also modeling how to do it for others.
