Wouldn't data like this make more sense in a per capita comparison? I get that we're outpacing Italy, but are we outpacing.
US population is about Italy, Spain, Germany, France, UK, and Netherlands put together.
For that matter does China even register compared to the impact this is having on Italy on a per capita basis?

- bargl 7y agoVery true. The most basic modeling of by country is not helpful, it'd be far better to show it by city, metro area, etc. And as you said each area has their own start date. Shoot in the US most metro areas have their own quarantine date too.
