        But peak deaths absolutely doesn’t mean restrictions then lift. Peak deaths means restrictions are working. China passed peak deaths months ago, but the roads in Wuhan are still silent as restrictions remain in place.

        Back to the mortality data, let’s look at cumulative deaths: • US death toll has passed Italy’s • Question is will its curve now taper off like Italy’s or keep rising? • Australia’s death toll far below other Anglophone countries All charts: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/nZ0ikm4HeJ

        Now daily new cases: • A chain of outbreaks in many states & cities mean US still gets more new cases every day than day before; still no nationwide lockdown • In France, Italy & Spain new cases plateau or dip ~18 days after lockdown • Suggests peak UK daily cases in 2-4 dayspic.twitter.com/ddZZ8EqA46

        Cases in cumulative form: • US encroaching on another new y-axis ceiling... • Australia and Ireland = Anglophone countries on flatter curves • India’s curve still noisy = look for trends, not daily bumpspic.twitter.com/i9dHlRoSjr

        Now subnational region daily deaths: • NY recording 100s of deaths per day; more than Lombardy recorded at its peak, but in 3 fewer weeks, and still rising 📈 • Daily deaths in London still rising; one of the world’s urban covid epicentres All charts: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/I8Zoxc2ZgC

        Subnational death tolls cumulatively: • NY on a much steeper curve than Lombardy at the same stage; almost certain to end with the world’s highest confirmed subnational death toll • Paris & London on similar curves, but Paris recorded many more deaths early onpic.twitter.com/q5V6o1FPcO

        Now small multiples of daily deaths in subnational regions: • Added lines for England, Scotland & Wales (N.Ireland to come). England by far the steepest, followed by Scotland • Now showing 7 US states, more to come • We’ve added Brazilian data; Sao Paulo shownpic.twitter.com/TsuGESBhDF

        Small multiples for daily new deaths in 43 countries: • Algeria on a very steep curve ⚠️ • Sweden and Netherlands both avoiding full-scale lockdowns; both have more daily deaths than China at the same stage • Ireland shallower curve than UK All charts: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/QKTcteAhXQ

        Finally, small multiples for daily cases in 63 countries: • Sweden v Norway still instructive. Norway locked down & new cases are falling, Sweden didn’t & each day brings more new infections • Japan’s outbreak continues Live versions of all charts here: http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest …pic.twitter.com/vd1gsFs9CR

        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.
