| Pyro as Bill said: What measures? Spain looks set to be another hotspot. They overtook France and Germany out of nowhere. Norway, Sweden and Denmark are all seeing huge % increases. Norway's already helped knock the UK out of the top 10 and Sweden and Denmark look set to overtake us if we don't see a big increase soon. The chart in the tweet is from 3 days ago. France, Germany and Spain are now all in the 1600-1800 range where Italy was. |
I'm referring to the daily cases growth factor

Much less people traveling, closing events, social distancing, it is slowing down the exponential growth in cases. It's still positive and new outbreaks initially start quite fast until social distancing measure and travel restrictions get implemented. Also when a case gets detected, there are already more cases related to that one case. The growth in new cases in Italy was down yesterday but it could just be a statistical anomaly or something else going on with testing.

Spain seems to have ramped up their testing or cleared a backlog of tests? Big spike on the 9th and more on the 10th. It happened in China as well when they caught up with testing. Although there they were a lot further along already and had a spike of 14K backlog cases.

But indeed, it seems the virus follows the same pattern where ever it takes hold. Germany is the anomaly though. Maybe they are very good at testing and tracing contacts, the only country actually on top of this thing and not lagging behind. Only 9 serious/critical out of 1652 detected is very different from France and Spain. However the US also only classifies 10 as serious/critical but has 31 deaths already with 600 less detected cases than Germany.
Different countries, different tests, different classifications I guess.
