NEW: Monday 30 March update of coronavirus mortality trajectories

• US deaths doubling every 3 days, as Fauci predicts over 100k US deaths. How different could things have been if US had locked down like China?
• UK still tracking Italy

Live version: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
All countries’ death toll trajectories:
• Increasingly looks like India tracking S Korea 🙏
• Australia’s curve tracking Japan 👍
• 38 countries now shown here, more every day

All charts: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
Death toll trajectories in subnational regions:
• NY still setting new records for death toll after x days
• Spanish and French mortality curves beginning to flatten
• Very different stories in different US states

All charts: ft.com/content/a26fbf…
Latest case trajectories for major countries:

• US cases continue to soar. Unquestionably the worst outbreak in the world

Reporting from @yuanfenyang & co on whether you can trust the Chinese data: ft.com/content/4aa352…
This chart now shows ALL countries with several days of data over 100 confirmed cases. 69 countries shown (Iran removed for data quality reasons)

Please email john.burn-murdoch@ft.com with feedback, requests and subnational data.

All of these are invaluable, and we continue to incorporate your suggestions and data every day.

I’ll keep getting back to as many people as possible.

Happy social distancing, one and all!
Finally, some tweaks today
• Credit gets cropped out of our charts. We’ve made that harder...
• We’re cleaning up main charts by removing some country labels. Fear not! All countries still shown in chart grids
• Iran dropped for reliability reasons
• Brand new charts tomorrow
And now, food.

Recipes, for anyone looking for some culinary inspiration while social distancing:
