1/ I've updated the data from yesterday's graphs, split them into Europe and World, and added more countries. Growth rates across Europe are remarkably similar, once a country has more than 100 cases.
2/ Slight dip in UK cases, but may just be the end of the rush of Italian imported cases, as school holiday finished two weeks ago.
3/ Showing rates per million inhabitants doesn't change much, except Switzerland looks worse.
4/ logscale graphs are really useful for comparing exponentials, but some people really don't like them. Here's a linear version, but truncated so we can see the curves better.
5/ I've added data for Iran, and the early stages of the China outbreak for comparison. Not sure how trustworthy either is, but both had faster growth early on. S Korea looks to making effective progress. Japan still makes no sense to me.
6/ Showing rates per million inhabitants. Main difference is this moves the US a few days back.
7/ Here's the linear version, for those who don't like logscale graphs, but again truncated or you can't see anything.
8/ Note that all this data lags the real world cases by 6-10 days (~6 days for incubation, then up to 4 days for test results, at least in the UK). This means we won't know if any measures are effective for maybe ten days, and at 33% per day, that's a 17 fold increase in cases.
