Was looking through some data last night and came across the curious case of Peru. They had a heavy multi month lockdown, and after easing it, their numbers have escalated
The data is the epitome of a 2nd spike, something for the Govt to consider. But the lockdown delayed the inevitable and the deaths show no sign of plateauing.
Further, I was very surprised to see how high the UK was up on the testing table. I had assumed we were a lot lower than we are; currently 5th in the world. It means nothing in isolation, but shows that after the slow start, we are testing on a large scale which should bode well for the future.
With 14,690,808 cases in a population of around 6.5 billion, 0.00226% of the world population have had it.
