The average global growth factor for the last seven days dropped to 1.17, looks like mostly from Germany reporting less than half of expected.

The actual top 5 today (or yesterday atm) was
Italy: 53578 (+6557)
USA: 26863 (+7480)
Spain: 25496 (+3925)
Germany: 22364 (+2516)
Iran: 20610 (+966)

Germany suddenly dropped to half of the trend it was following. Different testing in the weekend? Did they get on top of testing? The USA is also making a hitch in the stats by showing 2656 cases for today (3-22) that were still counted to yesterday two hours earlier. I added them to yesterday (3-21) for now. Maybe something similar happened in Germany, what counts for what day. It will average out again.

Italy keeps testing more and finding less positives as a percentage of tests but is still very closely following the 1.10x growth. Hopefully tomorrow it will start to decline. 1.10x would put tomorrow at +7213 new cases. Hopefully it's less.

Huh? Germany is at 25554, don't know where you got those numbers?

Perhaps the messed up with Germany reporting, that would explain the sudden drop.
They get it from here which was at that number last night

and now sits at 23921.
