Wow! This is an amazing turnaround folks (See plot below)! So much so, I tend to question the accuracy of tonight's numbers, and if I could have made an error. I double and triple checked this one, but suggest we don't get too excited just yet.

29th COB numbers:

Numbers from https://www.worldometers.info. Smaller ratio numbers are better. Data not validated. YMMV for informational interest only. PM me if you would like on or off the ping list.

Daily percentage of new Corona virus deaths to previous day's total by country. 25% = total deaths double every 3 days, 20% = every 4 days, 15% = every 5 days.

I hate to say this, but Sunday’s aren’t so grim - I don’t know if testing isn’t reported or just not done on Sunday without hospital admission. I’m very happy to Italy’s death count drop twice now, I pray that trend continues for months.

I was hoping last Sunday showed a flattening trend. Monday changed that. If I’m wrong, please accept my apology.

It should drop to about a doubling rate of exevy 6 days as we catch up to the cases.
So IMO it shows we’re catching up in testinh.
And we can expect variation.
