A few interesting bits I found interesting to explore:
-
In nearly every country in the world, when the virus reaches 100 people the number of cases begins to increase by 35% daily. (Dashed black line.)
- At that rate, a country would reach 1,000,000 cases just 31 days after reaching 100 cases.
- The curve flattens with social distancing -- check out Japan, South Korea, and China over time.
-
There are two different ways to view the exact same data:
- The logarithmic scale shows a great comparison of the magnitude of growth between countries, but less of the human impact.
- The linear scale shows the real human impact -- a growth twice the size is twice the number of real people infected.
- Switch between the two by toggling the scale at the bottom of each graph.
-
Finally, these graphs are not just images. Hover over any data point to see the data behind it.

updated daily with the Johns Hopkins CSSE data, which is typically released around 7:00pm Central.
