What In The World Is Going On?

 ...with Covid-19?

Well let's take a look a yesterday's world one-day case rate (per million population).  [Click on any graph to see how your country is doing!]

There are some countries that were on fire yesterday.  And likely the day before that. too.

The most impacted seem to be smaller places; Luxembourg,  Montenegro (where is Montenegro?), Georgia (where is Georgia?), Slovenia (where is...never mind).

But also some larger, mainly European, countries as well; Austria, Poland, Portugal, Italy, Hungary. 

One surprising omission is Spain.  No, it's there, but right at the bottom, at zero.

Very suspicious.  Right down there with China, also at zero.  But that is not suspicious at all, as I suspect the Chinese government reads my blog.  Why wouldn't they!

The US (dark blue) is right behind Europe, although if you listen to their media, you'd think they would be right at the top.

And Canada (red) is well down the list. Although if you listen to their media, you'd think they would be right at the top, too!

So what does it mean that Luxembourg had a one-day rate of 973?

Well, that means 0.1% of their population was infected.  In one day.

In contrast, Canada has had 0.8% of its population infected.  Since the start of the pandemic!

What does it all mean?  Who knows.

But what I do know is that most of Canada's 0.8% live pretty close to each other...
