Analysis by Keith Rankin Today’s chart shows the per capita level of testing performed in a number of countries. While the highest testing rate shown is Norway, we should note that Iceland has tested over eight percent of its population; too high to show on this chart. A high level of testing minimises a country’s ... <a title="Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Testing for Covid19" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2020/04/09/keith-rankin-chart-analysis-testing-for-covid19/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Testing for Covid19">Read more</a>

Analysis by Keith Rankin. New Zealand now has sufficient case data to get a sense of its regional distribution of Covid19. Surprisingly, Auckland is not dominant, unlike the main business cities in other countries such as London, New York, Milan and Sydney. Certainly, internationally, Covid19 is very much a city disease. The New Zealand regional ... <a title="Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid19: New Zealand Cases" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2020/04/07/keith-rankin-chart-analysis-covid19-new-zealand-cases/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid19: New Zealand Cases">Read more</a>

Analysis by Keith Rankin Looking at known cases of Covid19, as for Friday 3 April, we still see the dominance of the jetsetter enclaves – including the tax shelters of Europe. We also see the Norse ‘viking’ cluster of Norway, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands. And west‑central Europe in general.

Analysis by Keith Rankin Of the larger European countries, Italy is now in third place for known cases per person in the population. Spain has overtaken Switzerland for the dubious honour of top spot.

Analysis by Keith Rankin I was concerned to read last night that Greta Thunberg and her father almost certainly have Covid19; however, because of very restrictive testing criteria used in Sweden, they have not been tested. And I heard yesterday, on a Radio New Zealand news bulletin, a story about how there are virtually no ... <a title="Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Exponential Growth in Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2020/04/01/keith-rankin-chart-analysis-exponential-growth-in-italy-sweden-and-the-united-kingdom/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Exponential Growth in Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom">Read more</a>

Analysis by Keith Rankin While, United States’ local data on Covid19 is more readily available than for other countries, the American ‘county’ system of local governance is way out of date and often does not well represent urban conglomerations.

Analysis by Keith Rankin To get a correct picture, we need regional data – indeed sub-regional statistics – because the virus does not respect political boundaries. Unfortunately, it is very hard to get regional data from European countries. The Johns Hopkins data – most widely used by the media (and used in this chart) – ... <a title="Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid19: Deaths as at 29 March 2020" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2020/03/30/keith-rankin-chart-analysis-covid19-deaths-as-at-29-march-2020/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Chart Analysis – Covid19: Deaths as at 29 March 2020">Read more</a>

This chart shows the extent that the initial Chinese outbreak of Covid-19 was confined to Hubei province, a province with a population similar to that of Italy. And it shows that, while Hubei still has more recorded deaths per capita than Italy, Italy has more than twice as many active (unrecovered) cases per person.
