Update for Europe

Ireland added to the mix (dark green), following a lazy curve, heading on the way back down.
Russia on top, UK still high and generally the familiar bounce back up after the weekend for others.


For reported deaths, a general downward trend but also the bounce back after lazy weekend counting. Nobody does it like Sweden though, pogo stick reporting. Ireland had one big correction in reported deaths on April 25th, but heading in the right direction.

Taking a closer look at trends in Europe

The big 6, Russia not slowing down yet, UK still struggling to get below 100% week over week. France apparently found a bunch of missed cases. Italy, France and Germany or doing great week over week.


Two neighbors, both pretty similar. Austria has already been below the 100 daily cases for a few weeks, Switzerland is just joining the sub 100 club. The Netherlands is seeing a slight uptick week over week, yet still below 80% week over week currently.


The little ones. Denmark, Norway and Sweden all had huge test efforts early March catching a lot of already lingering cases, hence the big swing at the start of the graph.

Norway had the best brakes and got below 40 new cases a day, just recently climbing back up a bit. Denmark actually had more trouble slowing down than Sweden, higher population density and more integrated with their neighbors probably played a part. Sweden is slowing down, just not that much. Ireland struggled a bit at the start but is now going down at a good pace.
