Weekend caution applies, but heading in the right direction hopefully.

The official page is doing something strange with the daily infected count in England
This was taken on the 16th I wondered what had happened to the usual high UK total count as it didn't seem to update
When I hover over the 13th and 14th on the latest bar chart it comes up with 3,200 odd cases and the latest 2 look much like the above.

I've not really been paying attention to infection rates, but its 4.3K -5.5k per day for the last week.

What I have noticed is Rusia starting to climb the stats.

Just reading the latest figures, this sentence is interesting
"The Department of Health announced the latest increase, with 16,060 people with COVID-19 - the disease caused by coronavirus - now confirmed to have died in hospital across the four home nations."

Maybe Belgium is running out of people,
Sweden is odd. I have worked there winter testing not far off the artic circle. Only means stopping in a couple of places there on the way. My impression is low population and concentrations are scattered. Landed in Stockholm, jet to next stop followed by a pretty long drives keeping a very close watch for moose in the road. They make a hell of a mess of a car. Maybe they are trying to frighten people indoors. They do have an enviable health system thanks to higher taxes. No idea if it can cope.

How do we interpret the figures - assuming they are accurate?
The numbers in each column do not appear to relate consistently with each other.
Do the total number of cases and/or total cases per million reflect how the country has dealt with the virus?
Allowing for population density and country size.
Do the total number of deaths and/or total deaths per million - or deaths to cases - reflect how good the country's health service is.
India seems to be the most puzzling to me.

As the data is recorded differently in all countries, plus the coverage of recorded data is different, plus what consititues a test differs, etc then I can't see any meaningful data comparisons can be made.

What do you mean by that?

We'll some countries have counted testing by simply doing a non contact temperature test. That doesn't really so anything, other than you are hotter than normal.
I thought the point of testing was to produce either a positive or negative (covid19)result? Are you saying that countries are putting out figures that account for how many tests they have carried out?
