Here’s the coronavirus growth rate through March 29. Sweden continues to be oddly flat, which looks more like a reporting issue than a real flattening. Italy remains on track for the death rate to peak around April 7 and then start declining. No other countries have shown any big changes since yesterday.
How to read the charts: Let’s use France as an example. For them, Day 0 was March 5, when they surpassed one death per 10 million by recording their sixth death. They are currently at Day 24; total deaths are at 435x their initial level; and they have recorded a total of 39 deaths per million so far. As the chart shows, this is slightly below where Italy was on their Day 24.
