Just a heads up, the number of reported cases is not the actual number of cases, not even close. Reported cases only come after positive testing, and testing is extremely selective and limited by healthcare capacity.
A friend who works in a hospital said that they can only request a test if the patient is bad enough to need intensive care. And even then the request may be denied.
The case count doesn't mean anything anymore. The world's healthcare systems don't have the capacity to track the spread.
