      What do you think would be the most helpful thing we can do, to give as many as possible a good idea of what is happening and what we can be do to reduce the rate of infection? Here is where we are: http://OurWorldInData.org/coronavirus  Now, how do we get it out there?https://twitter.com/MaxCRoser/status/1237866928959442946 …

      The reason for great concern about #COVID19 are *not* the current numbers. It is their *growth rate*. On Our World in Data we now report the answer to How long did it take for the number of confirmed cases to double? for every country. You find it here http://OurWorldInData.org/coronavirus#growth-of-cases-how-long-did-it-take-for-the-number-of-confirmed-cases-to-double … pic.twitter.com/GHXTMzbSjL

      Merely continuing to report what's happening is probably more useful than you realize. Good data *visualizations* are often surprisingly valuable. It would be helpful if you could sort out differences in countries' experiences due to different population age structure.

          Very important to know whether South Korea's much lower observed fatality rate so far may be due to their having a larger percentage of healthy young adults who are infected?

          And a publicly running visualization of all groups currently working on testing kits and cures. Can help to collect the efforts and results.

          I could do that 24/7. Would love every minute of it. What I'm more concerned with right now is to increase our reach. I care about the growth rate and before I even speak with you, I know that you get it (infection=growth you'd say) How do I reach millions who don't get it?

          Max, That’s a question people have been asking since cuneiform tablets. I don’t know the answer, or think anyone does, about how to bring good information to more people more quickly, but I’m grateful you’re thinking about it because I am a fan of your products
