I edited my comment with some data. The onset is staggered, the entire ranking thing is useless until the pandemic is over. It is simply a tracker, not an objective measure of the efficacy or the effectiveness of the measures each country is taking. It is too soon.
- codeulike 7y agoI've seen plenty of graphs where people plot the epidemics correcting for start date in each country, that seems pretty useful. Edit: Here you go, here's one corrected for day of 100th case. https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1241149458089418752 https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1241149458089418752
- systemvoltage 7y agoThis is nice but still has major confounding effects that could completely change the story: - Amount of testing - Sampling process of testing - i.e. Policies that govern whether someone should be tested or not. Each country has their own policy. - Demographics, especially age - Still shows total cases, should be cases/capita - Some effects of weather/humidity
- codeulike 7y agoI agree except for cases/capita. I dont see how that is relevant during the initial phases of an epidemic, as explained above.
