COVID-19 Status Report


The graphs above are from the handy site Worldometers.info. It should be noted that they’re in log scale which means that they tell us about the shape of the curves of the total cases diagnosed and deaths due to the Wuhan coronavirus. As you can see neither is rising as fast as they were a month and a half ago but neither has flattened out, either.

Even if you are convinced that everything we have been told by the Chinese authorities is fair dinkum, we are still far from out of the woods. However, there are (possibly hysterical) theories in Japan that the black rain they’re seeing there is from the ashes produced by the cremations of thousands or millions of COVID-19 victims, either in China or North Korea, or both. I don’t believe it but there are apparently a lot of Japanese people who do.

  • Where did you pick up an Aussie term like “fair dimkum”?

  • When I worked for Siemens most of the guys working for me were either Brits or Aussies. And when you watch as much Australian TV as I do something is bound to rub off. 😉
