Tracking COVID-19 spread throughout the worldexerpted from the BBC website using data from Johns Hopkins UniversityThe graphic illustration below clearly shows the spread of this deadly virus and how various countries in the world accelerate and then decelerate over a 2 month period. Watch as the date advances rapidly from Jan 23 to the present. Note that through mid February it is mostly all China, then other countries slowly start to register on the graph, and by mid Feb, South Korea first begins to accelerate. The US first starts to appear in early March, accelerates rapidly throughout the month and by the last week it has claimed first position. From there it just rockets ahead of the rest of the world, clearly showing how badly this pandemic has been managed in the U.S. administration. You can pause the chart progression at any time to study the relative positions of the various countries. |
