COVID-19 Infections and Deaths : India

In the chart below is shown the number of tests done weekly to the number of cases in a few select states respectively. Kerala has been a showcase state as far as its ability to control the epidemic goes. Test data from Telangana has been difficult to get and therefore not been included here. It is evident from the chart, the number of tests have not been rising to keep pace with the increase in the number of new cases. In Delhi, the number of tests have even decreased instead of being increased.

In the chart below is shown the progress of the pandemic from when each state reached its first 100 cases. Maharashtra and Kerala were the two states that had their first 100 cases on the calendar day March 25. That is considered day 0. The number of days each state is behind Maharashtra is mentioned in the table below.

Similarly, for new deaths, it is consider day 0 when the state reached 2 cases per day. Maharashtra (day 0) reached it on April 2, 2020.

The graphs below show the statistics for selected cities. We have adjusted starting point of the cities to a common zero day when each of them crossed the 100 mark for total infected and 10 new cases per day. Mumbai has surpassed this point on 28 March 2020. For total deaths and new deaths, we have taken the starting point to be when they have reported 5 deaths per day and 1 new death per day respectively. For total deaths, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad will be added as we gather the data.

COVID-19 Infections and Deaths: Global

The graph below show the progress of the disease in a country once the number of total infected persons crosses the 100 mark. Since the epidemic started in different countries at different times, it is difficult to compare them. We have adjusted the starting point of a country to a common zero day when each of them crossed the 100 mark for total infected. In this group of countries, as Italy started before others, it has been given the starting date of 0, which in calendar terms was 23rd February. The table below the chart shows how many days behind Italy they are. In the charts for total deaths 7-day moving average of new infections, instead of 100 mark for infected, 10 for deaths and new infected have been used as the benchmark.
