Covid-19 maps update April 16 - Reported Active Cases per million, and deaths per million

Here is my latest updated maps as of April 16 (see my earlier post for more details)

I am just showing here the change in the last 4 days using the same colour coding as my last post, where darker orange means 50% or higher increase in reported active cases per capita  reported, and dark green means 50% fewer (or less) reported active cases per capita than 4 days before. You can see the data for the world, and for the provinces and states in the US and Canada.

 Most notable are that Russia, India and some  African countries are worsening, whereas a few formerly bad areas such as Iran are starting to see recovery. Alberta is an outlier, and may result from noisy data (last post it had shown a significant improvement).

Many light pink countries are on the verge of their peak; we should start to see them turn green shortly I hope, unless they stop distancing measures too soon         .




As an added extra, below is a map showing deaths per capita to date. Black is more than 500 per million. Red is 100 per million. Dark orange is 50 per million and yellow is close to zero. Grey means missing data.

This article in the Economist provides other excellent visualizations showing excess (more than expected normally) deaths in several countries, suggesting that the 'official' covid death counts are much too low.


Sources of data are the same as in my previous posts.
