Italian New Cases vs. Date

Today's new case report is lower than previous two. More importantly, the percent growth rate is down to a 7 day doubling, from a 3 day doubling a month ago.

Good news!

Initial doubling rate is always deceptively high due to an immediate ramp up in testing.

[dangus]

even better
03/24/20 has only 4789, lowest since 03/18/20

I will note that the 3/16 figures are also lower than the previous 2. And 3/10 is completely out of whack.

Let’s be hopeful, but it’ll take a few more days for it to be clearly more than an accounting thing.
