CV19: UK v Italy - forget the 2 week lag

This week the UK revised its numbers: it's now including care home deaths as well as hospital deaths. I've changed the graph to show total deaths by date, no two week lag. You can see the latest numbers show the UK is catching up with Italy and possibly overtaking it?

CV-19: times to double

No graphs today, just these stats:

• global deaths, time to double = 6 days (same as 10 days ago) 
• global cases, time to double = 8 days (up from 6, 10 days ago) 

These are scary numbers but the increasing time to double for cases is a positive sign.

Italy and Spain both seem to have peaked in new cases and deaths. Let's hope so.
