The @FinancialTimes coronavirus death & case trajectory trackers are now 🔥 FREE TO READ 🔥 outside the paywall: ft.com/coronavirus-la…

In this morning’s update, the US has gone above 470 deaths, bringing it just behind where Iran was at the same stage.
We’ve also heeded @MaxCRoser’s call and added an important terminology change: the cases chart shows *confirmed* cases, not all cases.

Read more here in Max’s thread on why case counts aren’t always what they seem:
And stay tuned for another new chart in tonight’s update, where we will be adding subnational data for key regions and cities 🏙

NEW: Saturday 28 March update of coronavirus mortality trajectories

• UK passes Italy, 2nd only to Spain for deaths at this stage of outbreak 📈
• US deaths doubling every 3 days, curve keeps steepening
• India tracking US

Live version FREE TO READ: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
All countries’ death toll trajectories:
• German deaths curve still tracking Italy. Low fatality *rate* in Germany masks high death *numbers*
• Australia added. So far on a flatter curve than other Anglophone countries, but very early days

All charts: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
Death curves in subnational regions:

• London climbs sharply. 96 more deaths announced today, curve heading towards Wuhan ⚠️
• Louisiana & New Jersey deaths doubling every 2 days
• New York, Catalonia, Madrid, Paris the urban epicentres

NEW: Friday 27 March update of coronavirus mortality trajectories

• UK has more dead at this stage than any country except Spain & Italy ⚠️
• US now clearly more deaths than China or Iran, could soon pass France
• India added

Live version FREE TO READ ft.com/content/a26fbf…
All countries’ death trajectories:
• German curve still tracking Italy. Talk of Germany being on top of covid is premature
• India locked down early, but could yet follow Japan or Italy. Pop 1.3bn: which path it follows will be a huge story

All charts: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
Death toll trajectories in subnational regions:

• New York, Catalonia, Madrid, Paris: new urban epicentres
• London curve steepens, more than 60 new deaths in last 24h
• Florida & California steepening but still no nationwide US lockdown

All charts: ft.com/content/a26fbf…

NEW: Thursday 26 March update of coronavirus mortality trajectories tracker

• US death toll curve has passed China’s at same stage ⚠️
• UK on same track as Italy
• We‘re stripping this chart down to highlight major countries

Live version FREE TO READ: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
This means we’re showing other countries’ death toll trajectories in a grid of "small multiples", as with cases.

• Lots of talk about Germany’s low fatality rates, but its death toll curve is tracking Italy’s
• Turkey is cause for concern

All charts: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
Now onto death toll trajectories in subnational regions:
• New York still has the most dead at this stage out of any region in the world
• Situation in Catalonia, Madrid and Paris (Ile-de-France) also notably bad

All charts: ft.com/content/a26fbf…

La Russia sta conducendo una campagna di disinformazione sul #Coronavirus.

Obiettivo: destabilizzare l'Europa, aggravando la crisi e minando la fiducia nei sistemi sanitari nazionali.

Perché lo fa?

Thread 👇

1/7
Nel 2013 il generale russo Valerij Gerasimov scrisse che i mezzi non-militari sono ormai più efficaci delle armi nel creare disordine negli stati nemici.

Nacque la "Dottrina Gerasimov", che ha aiutato a spiegare l'uso da parte di Putin di mezzi di guerra non convenzionali

2/7
Cosa si intende per utilizzo di mezzi non militari? Il trolling, ad esempio.

Uno strumento pacifico come Internet può essere sfruttato in senso offensivo.

Un po' come un terrorista che pilota un aereo di linea, il troll vuole creare caos attraverso strumenti civili

#Coronavirus Trajectory:

🦠In most Western countries, the number of #COVID19 cases have been increasing by ~33% per day (exponentially)

🦠Hong Kong and Singapore are on different trajectory

🦠South Korea is slowing rate of transmission

@jburnmurdoch

👉ft.com/content/a26fbf…
#COVID19:

🦠Case number show extent of country’s outbreak, spreads at same rate regardless of country size

🦠Case number normalized to population size show how much strain country is under

🦠If case number isn’t significant proportion of population, population size #immaterial
US #Trajectory:

🦠US #COVID19 trajectory lies well above Italy reference trajectory

🦠Number of #COVID19 cases in US is surging (US started testing)

🦠Italy-scale epidemics remain inevitable for most countries

🦠January 20, date of 1st #COVID19 diagnosis in US and South Korea

En esta gráfica se puede apreciar el comportamiento del Covid-19 en muchos países, siguiendo el típico crecimiento exponencial a partir del caso 100:

Corea del Sur contuvo el crecimiento al día 10.
Singapur y Taiwan (que no aparece en la gráfica)...
...lo contuvieron con la aplicación de medidas muy tempranas.

La situazione dell'Italia nella prima settimana di marzo è molto simile a quella della provincia di Hubei (la cui capitale è Wuhan) nell’ultima settimana di gennaio.

[thread su cosa ci aspetta senza misure di contenimento 👇]
Wuhan ha approssimativamente gli stessi abitanti della Lombardia (ma più concentrati) e l'Hubei ha una popolazione paragonabile a quella italiana (ma, di nuovo, più concentrata).

Federico Ricci-Tersenghi (Professore di Fisica Teorica alla @SapienzaRoma) ha confrontato l'andamento del numero di decessi per #coronavirus (la variabile per cui abbiamo dati più affidabili) in Italia e nello Hubei. bit.ly/330W7kB.

#coronavirus for journalists, short thread : Here’s what we know about the importance of reporting during epidemics. First, repetitive, reliable reporting can change behaviour . There are a number if papers on this - here is one sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/…
Important that news organisations update figures, practical information and news about the spread with calm unsensational regularity *in the same place* . Liveblogs are great for those following, but poor for those encountering the story at different points.
This advice from @CarolineYLChen is the best thing I have read on the framing of questions for covering epidemics propublica.org/article/i-live… - share widely

zerohedge.com/markets/china-…

Level 3 ORANGE High Risk Travel to China
