3/19: US-Italy Chart plus other updates - (NightlyPoe is excused from tonight's meeting).

The US has definitely entered an exponential phase of new cases having gained 4,530.  That is 33% of the current total cases in 1 day. We have now moved more than 3 days ahead of Italy from the original alignment. If this rate maintains, we will pass Italy and China in total cases in about a week.  The nightly reporting gap is already 526 new cases - equal to a our daily total from 6 days ago.

Italy itself gained 5,322 new cases.  Thankfully, they are slowing down. An absolutely welcome sign for the region. Especially given that their death toll has now eclipsed the published figures for China.

Switzerland may be the next country in trouble as they increased by more than 1,100 new cases today.  That's 25% of their total.  The numbers are unfortunately sizable for the population.  The same rate of increase and scale applies to Austria and Luxembourg.

36% of all Israeli cases were reported today though it still represents a low proportion of their population.

These updates from you are always interesting.

But even more interesting would be 2 additional columns for the number of deaths in both countries at those points. While the US are growing faster, it's also a bigger country with more hospitals, so those can probably take more patients before getting overwhelmed. But if the death rate would grow just as fast already, I would summise that the US hospitals are either not ready for so much intake, or that people not going there because of the cost of treatment until it's too late.

Didn't do the full chart but on March 8th, Italy had 366 deaths while the US had 207 on the corresponding date (March 19th)
