Cases in cumulative form:
• Looks like I’m gonna have to extend my y-axis again to accommodate the US...
• Reported Indian infections picking up speed after slow early pace. I’d say this owes as much to more testing as accelerating outbreak

Things to note:
• Daily covid data is extremely noisy and implies false precision
• This is why we use a rolling average. Watch for general trends. Focus on slopes, not specific daily numbers

Here’s a video where I explain why we’re using log scales, showing absolute numbers instead of per capita, and much more: https://twitter.com/janinegibson/status/1244519429825802240">https://twitter.com/janinegib...
And a chart showing why we& #39;re using absolute numbers rather than population-adjusted rates: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1244380095164420101">https://twitter.com/jburnmurd...

Oh, and a few questions coming in about our France numbers, as they’re lower than those from other sources.
The reason: 100s of French deaths in nursing homes were published on one day, producing a huge artificial jump, so we’re using hospital deaths only.
