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

Latest case trajectories for major countries:

• US has far more confirmed cases than any other country at the same stage
• Cases edging back up in HK & Singapore as concerns grow that outbreak hasn’t been contained
