Covid outbreaks now in dozens of countries

From the inimitable John Burn-Murdoch of the FT.



Mortality rates still doubling every 2-3 days for most countries.  That means they'll rise 7-fold in a week, 54-fold in a fortnight.  Because it takes a week to 10 days from infection to showing symptoms, and a another 2 weeks to recovery, even for countries which lock down today, it'll be a month before death rates peak.
