Taking them in the order of most affected, let& #39;s start with the US ...
The US: A bad day for new deaths but it looks as if the new cases curve may have been broken. But too early to tell.
Spain: New cases are still running at one-third less than their peak. Spain is still a good news story.
Italy: New cases are now half their peak.
Deaths continue to decline.
This is very good news.
Deaths continue to decline.
This is very good news.
France: I don& #39;t know what to tell you about France. The data is too choppy. These are Monday& #39;s numbers, so those big increases could equally be unreported cases from the weekend as much as new cases from Monday.
Germany: New cases seem to be trending down.
New deaths are still trending up, but they are a lagging indicator.

China: There are just 1190 active cases in China, and the level is falling.
Iran: In the same way that France is frustrating because there seem to be inconsistencies in their data reporting, the reporting of new cases in Iran looks *too* consistent. Look how smooth that downward curve is. No other country has a decline as neat as that.
The UK: Good news. The curve looks broken. In 3 of the last 4 days there have been under 4000 new cases.
Bonus country, Australia: It& #39;s a pretty good story in Oz! Whatever they& #39;re doing down there, it& #39;s working.
Here& #39;s the grid of the top most-affected countries, from Worldometers #countries">https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ #countries">https://www.worldometers.info/coronavir...
From Pantheon: US and UK heading to peak this week.
The US: Signs of progress.
India: I& #39;d say there is too little data here to draw a conclusion right now.
Ireland: The momentum of new cases appears to have been slowed. That looks good but it is early days.
