COVID-19 Development in selected countries

All of us are interested in getting reliable information about how dangerous the COVID-19 pandemia can be. However, typically we just get to know today's accumulated number of infections or accumulated number of deaths. That number is rising continously. However, in order to evaluate the development of the pandemic, one needs to compare the behavior of these numbers over time. It is then best, to consider new cases, and new deaths on a daily basis as explained here, 3Blue1Brown on "Exponential growth and epidemics" Here I will post daily updates of logarithmic plots of the number of new infections and deaths for some selected countries. By comparing the figures, one may try to evaluate the effectiveness of the different attemptsto control the pandemic. The data is taken from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
