Coronavirus (COVID-19) Discussion Thread

[SvennoJ]

Update for the world, it's record Friday again :/

Close to 200K cases reported world wide (193K), 3-day average of 118% week over week change, up from 113% week over week last Friday.
The USA is growing at 145% week over week, Europe declining at 86% week over week.

The USA is now above its previous peak in cases (35,223 April 24th) currently at 42,209
Tomorrow the world will pass 10 million total reported cases (97K to go) with close to or over half a million reported deaths.

The continents

South America leads with 59,404 cases per day, passed 2 million total cases today.
North America passed Asia again, at 51,666 cases per day, will pass 3 million total cases tomorrow if not Sunday.
Asia growing steadily, now at 45,171 cases per day, recently passed 2 million total cases.
Europe slowly declining, currently at 14,204 cases per day
Africa growing, might pass Europe next week, now at 11,717 cases per day
Oceania still off the map but increased to 37 cases per day


The different strategies

Brazil and USA are virtually tied at a 42.5K 3 day average.
India and Iran carrying on as before.
Canada is incomplete since now Quebec (the 2nd largest contributor) decided not to post numbers again until Monday.
Japan is heading the wrong way, South Korea not really managing to get back down while Australia is starting to find more cases :/

Week over week for the big ones

The USA is currently in the lead for week over week growth, 145%, just over 13 days to double current daily reported cases.
India and Brazil both growing, Brazil's data is still quite messy.
Iran is having waves despite never really going down, their reported deaths have been climbing again as well.
Canada declining slowly.

It's not looking good. I'm not very optimistic about the phase 2 re-openings that started today. First result, grid-lock downtown after a vehicle crash blocking our most important intersection right off one of the two bridges over the river, blocking the traffic from the other bridge as well since the only alternative is closed for work doh.
