And cases in cumulative form:
• US stretching my chart limits again; will extend y-axis to 500k tomorrow
• Australia a rare example of an Anglophone country on a gentle trajectory
• Brazil tracking UK

Now subnational region daily deaths:
• New Jersey heading toward NY as the US’ urban north-east emerges as the new global epicentre
• In the UK, London and the Midlands now both on more daily deaths than Wuhan recorded at same stage

Subnational death tolls cumulatively:
• Like the US at large, NY is really in uncharted territory here, death toll marching into the thousands
• New Jersey ramping up onto Lombardy’s trajectory. More than 8,000 died there.

Our newest chart: small multiples of daily deaths in subnational regions (same country colours as in national charts):
• California added. Following a similar path to Veneto in Italy
• London’s death toll rising faster than Wuhan’s did
• Bavaria Germany’s hardest-hit region

Finally, small multiples for daily cases:
• Sweden v Norway is instructive. Norway locked down & new cases are falling, Sweden didn’t & each day brings more new infections
• Japan’s outbreak continues

Things to note:
• The data is noisy & subject to all sorts of tricky caveats
• e.g most countries reporting deaths in hospital. Many deaths occur in nursing homes etc; we hope to add these in future
• Point being: watch for general trends. Focus on slopes, not specific numbers
