Relative performance of different countries under COVID-19

This chart indicates the relative performance of different countries under COVID-19. It shows that rate of percentage daily change in cumulative case numbers versus the actual number of cases. It really illustrates the potential trajectories of the epidemics in the different nations under this pandemic.
Note the red box at 40,000 cases. The daily % increase for Spain > Italy > China.
Back at 25,000 cases, Spain and Italy were both overtaking or about to overtake China's daily % increase and the rates were not falling as fast as they did in China. This was a key indictor that Italy and soon Apin exceed China. Italy already has, sadly, in terms of deaths and is right at the point of overtaking China in terms of cases and heading to the hubndreds of thousands.

 Spain is likely to have a similar fate, probably worse than Italy.

 France at 25,000 cases has a % rate of increase that is approaching China's. Again, the rate of increase daily in France is not falling at the same pace as it did in China. Thus France is quite likely to overtake China also and move to over 100,000 cases in time.

 The UK is following a fairly similar path to France but it is too early to tell on this chart how it will fare. However, the more rigorous rate if change charts against time that I have complied are fairly pessimistic for the UK because the rate of daily % change is again not falling fast enough to converge on an "acceptably" low final case total, whatever might be deemed acceptable in these tragic circumstances:

Global situation: World totals may be 100 times the China total:

Rest of world now dwarfing China. Compare the purple curve to the start of the other curves at bottom left in China:

UK very slow downtrend COVID not as good as Europe

Europe's curves are still looking better than the UK's but still tragic in deaths terms. R0 likely to be nearer to be 0.5. In UK R0 could be 0.8+ but I am not i the business of calculating that because it is only an instantaneous snapshot measure anyway. What matters are results. UK, Italy, Germany, France and Spain. Forecasts from 20 April are still matching reality pretty well. Less updating was done on France and Spain forecasts - they were not adjusted from a long time ago and use trend lines going way back to early March. These charts are updated as of 11 June but forecast curves are not updated. This shows that the forecasts have held for nearly 2 months. The I present comparisons between UK and other large population European countries. A picture paints a thousand words. Google and YouTube as usual are  making it more and more difficult to use older browsers forcing people to buy new computers. What a scam. I have shown them on YouTube here (only 7 minutes long):

Letters I wrote to UK Government re COVID19

Here are some highlights of letters that I wrote to my Member of Parliament and to the UK government Prime Minister, Health Minister, the Shadow Health Minister and others on the subject of CO|VID-19. I received no reply to any of them except from Philip Hollobone, my local MP, who messaged Matt Hancock on my behalf and got a fairly terse reply. 1st March my email to MP: : 1mar: We are now no longer part of the nonsensical "freedom of movement of people" dogma that pervades the EU. This could be a deadly conceit on their part. We will see how it pans out for them. In my view, we should look to closing the Channel Tunnel and shutting off flights and ships not only from certain parts of CHina but from S. Korea, Italy, Iran and possibly others as this develops. Failure to act on this holds enormous risks in my view. I don't believe the platitudes from the WHO and some of the talking heads on TV. They are ignoring the high case fatality rate of this disease and assumin
