The following countries are seeing a significant growth in cases and deaths: Russia...

No worries there. Putin announced today that he has slowed the spread. Ignore the now familiar curve. I'm sure tomorrows number will reflect this new reality.

I've been messing with numbers again. Below is what I've determined to be our day by day case (whatever a case is), fatality ratio after offsetting 14 days from a case initial date until time of death using worldometers data. The large spike, I believe is the NY data dump. These numbers seem too large, but I've double checked everything.

Not that big of a sample, but look what it was near the beginning, and how much it has dropped! If this is accurate, the CFR (ratio) was/is much higher than we were led to believe.

I think it indicates improved treatment effectiveness along with the Coronavirus being far deadlier for some during the initial outbreak, probably for the elderly before stringent quarantines.
