Analysis by Keith Rankin. Here I include three European countries and three others well known for their Covid19 issues. Of the European countries, Switzerland was first to be hit, and did substantially suppress the epidemic. Sweden was hit for a prolonged period, but eventually got the problem down to ‘acceptable’ levels. Slovakia – the only one ... <a title="Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid-19: Deaths in Six Covid-Hot Countries" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2021/01/30/keith-rankin-chart-analysis-covid-19-deaths-in-six-covid-hot-countries/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid-19: Deaths in Six Covid-Hot Countries">Read more</a>

Analysis by Keith Rankin. With Covid19, Italy shows the classic European pattern, with its early outbreak, substantial recovery thanks to lockdowns and other public health measures, and resurgence thanks to complacency and summer mingling. Brazil, on the other hand, shows a pattern, even more extreme than the USA, of an outbreak that did not go away. ... <a title="Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid-19: Italy and Brazil – Three Perspectives" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2021/01/22/keith-rankin-chart-analysis-covid-19-italy-and-brazil-three-perspectives/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid-19: Italy and Brazil – Three Perspectives">Read more</a>

Analysis by Keith Rankin. The countries with the most recent large outbreaks of Covid19 are those with large numbers of recent recorded cases, but yet to record the deaths that most likely will result.

Analysis by Keith Rankin. In my latest charts, I include a robust set of estimates of actual proportion of people who have – or have had – Covid19. The principal basis for these estimates is the number of deaths being recorded. Using the appropriate log scale for such charts, we can see that Belgium’s ‘second ... <a title="Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid-19: Belgium and Ireland – Three Perspectives" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2021/01/09/keith-rankin-chart-analysis-covid-19-belgium-and-ireland-three-perspectives/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid-19: Belgium and Ireland – Three Perspectives">Read more</a>

Analysis by Keith Rankin. We in New Zealand hear so little about the tragedy unfolding in Eastern Europe, including the Baltic and Caucasian States. These countries have very cold winters, increased inequality, poverty, and popular nationalism (aka ‘populism’).

Analysis by Keith Rankin. 2020 has been the year of the scientist, or at least the public health scientist. Science is a method, not a discipline; it includes social science, because social science does at least notionally apply the scientific method.
