Viewer tips

Most viewers will want to focus on country rankings by per capita deaths, which are the second and third plots below.
Best viewed on a large monitor or one you can easily zoom in or out of.
More information should appear when you hover over plots.
If you're looking for a particular country you can search for it by name or ISO code using your browser's usual find function, typically Ctrl-f.

Testing progression at weekly intervals. Inconsistent data sources, but presumed to be (mostly PCR) tests for active cases. Many countries do not report testing data.

Note the log scale for per capita tests. On a linear scale, a one inch vertical gap between 2 points would represent the same number of tests, anywhere on the plot. Instead a one inch vertical gap on a log scale represents the same % growth in tests, anywhere on the plot. Roughly speaking, large gaps mean large % increases and small gaps mean small % increases.

Death progression at weekly intervals. High death countries.
