      NEW: Sun 5 April update of coronavirus trajectories Daily new deaths: • US now recording more daily deaths than any country in the world since outbreaks began • UK still on similar path to Italy, suggesting ~2 weeks from peak daily deaths Live charts: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/tThapcE7NE

      How does that look cumulatively? • US death toll has now passed Italy’s, and is on a much steeper slope than Italy was at this stage • US could have the highest total death toll globally within a week All charts: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/KrdsGVYP6C

      Now daily new cases: • Tens of thousands of new cases per day in the US due to simultaneous outbreaks in many states. The price of no national lockdown. • France, Germany, Italy and Spain seeing new cases plateau or begin to dip • Japan’s delayed outbreak acceleratingpic.twitter.com/bDegWO7tMr

      Cases in cumulative form: • Y-axis extended to 500k to accommodate the US, which is now unquestionably the global centre of coronavirus • Australia and Ireland = Anglophone countries on flatter curves • Brazil still tracking UK ⚠️pic.twitter.com/e78HYHRSB5

      Now subnational region daily deaths: • NY now has more daily deaths than Lombardy recorded at its peak, but it’s taken 3 fewer weeks to get there, and is still rising 📈 • NJ about to pass Lombardy’s trajectory • Daily death toll in London still rising each daypic.twitter.com/DM3xk9VDcD

          Subnational death tolls cumulatively: • NY approaching 5k deaths, and on a much steeper curve than Lombardy at the same stage. Almost certain to pass Lombardy and see the world’s highest subnational death toll All charts: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/SQkQ8oqujq

          Now our newest chart: small multiples of daily deaths in subnational regions: • We’ve added lines for England, Scotland & Wales (N.Ireland to come). England by far the steepest of the UK countries, followed by Scotland • London’s death toll still rising faster than Wuhan’s didpic.twitter.com/TwJQegVUdP

          Finally, small multiples for daily cases in 63 countries: • Sweden v Norway still instructive. Norway locked down & new cases falling, Sweden didn’t & each day brings more new infections • New cases in New Zealand are flat Live versions of all charts: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/qfmRX7dRC9

          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

          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 …

          A quick chart for those who keep asking for per-capita adjustment: Here’s population vs total death toll one week after 10th death. No relationship. As I’ve been saying, population does not affect pace of spread. All per-capita figures do is make smaller countries look worse. pic.twitter.com/yWsa4YNNxI

          Analysis of Chinese movie box office revenues shows that lockdowns won’t be lifted overnight, and life may take many months to return to normal. Restrictions will be released bit by bit, only to be reinstated wholly or in part as infections pick up againhttps://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1246135176461254657 …

          One more new chart thread today: A cautionary tale for those who think lockdowns will end overnight and life will go straight back to normal. Movie theatres were told to close when China’s outbreak began, with admissions dropping from millions to a trickle overnight. pic.twitter.com/7nr5FTgIPl

          NEW: in the @10DowningStreet press conference, a slide showed Britons adhering to lockdown by staying home. I’ve got the same @Google source data, and people in UK & US are still out and about much more than elsewhere...
