3/23: US-Italy Chart.

The exponential growth is really starting to show the past few days.  Over 10,000 new cases today. Our the current rates of new cases, the US will pass Italy in 2 days and China in 3 days. The good news is that Italy has had 2 consecutive days of fewer new cases and deaths. This is definitely a trend to watch.  It may be an indicator that Italy is on the back side of the curve.

I mentioned Switzerland a few posts ago as a nation that has recently seen a massive increase in new cases and deaths but I just noticed France is having it even worse.  They doubled their new cases from the previous day and had a very high increase in deaths. Hopefully that's just an anomaly and not a new rate for them.

Can you chart New York state against Italy. Please. Or perhaps New York city vs Lombardy would be fairer. 

FT is giving it's COVID stuff away for free.

Lots of good comparisons.
