Magnitude is VERY important here (this is log scale, as well). China VASTLY dominates total current cases. There are 6K cases outside of China, currently. There are 79K IN CHINA. This chart shows the epidemic outside of China is exploding and no sign of plateau. 3/
This is an easier representation of the prior data. New cases being reported outside of China have just begun to take off. We have VERY variable reporting as well (e.g., Italy has NOT reported recently - when they do, the number will jump, etc.). 4/

Thread/ #Covid19 charts/data to start your day. Good news is that China seems to have MOSTLY contained this. Every bit of data coming from #China indicates that worst is behind them. The bad news is that outside of China is starting to explode, albeit still at lower scale. 1/

Daily Death rate is dominated by China. Of the 57 new deaths reported, 47 were in China (9 in Iran). You MIGHT be able to hide new active cases. It is much harder to hide deaths. The trend is favorable (we want to see it continue for a few more days before we applaud). 2/

(50,916 posts)1. In the beginning, the number of cases outside of China were doubling every 6 days. That
is speeding up now.

The virus has moved from Iran to countries with very little public health infrastructure (Iraq and Afghanistan).
So far, only 2 cases reported on the African continent. 1 each in Algeria and Nigeria.
