I am a big fan of Aatish Bhatia’s way to display Covid-19 infection numbers in a log to log diagram that shows existing versus new cases.
It allows very clearly to see trends. Sadly there are a couple of countries who see a recent increase in cases after they had managed to lower new infections significantly.
How far the situations of these countries could be compared, and if there should be a common cause is not clear. It is striking how similar the patterns are. Of course the US is an outlier. It always is. Exceptionalism, American.
