Highlights

1. The epicenter has moved from China to outside of China, especially Europe and USA. The WHO has warned that the US could be the next. Iran continues to be a major concern. South Korea, like China, has tapered.

2. Sadly, the major 10 countries, including China, now account for over 83% of all cases and 93% of all deaths.

3. While China's recovery rate remains very high, it has been gaining momentum for South Korea and Iran as well -- the other two major victims that immediately followed China's outbreak.    

4. Unfortunately, in terms of total cases the US has moved up to the third position, accounting for nearly 14% of all cases worldwide.

5. With the skyrocketing new cases everyday, Italy's death toll has also climbed to 7,503 or 10.09% overall. While Russia is sending a team of doctors and supplies to Italy, the less-affected countries like India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. need to follow suit before the situation in Italy goes totally out of control.

6. The published data shows that Italy currently has an alarming 3,489 serious/critical cases, followed by Spain (3,166) and France (2,827).

7. While China has tapered, it still has 4,287 active cases, including 1,399 serious/critical cases. Already devastated by the virus, China now fears a re-migration curve (primarily imported cases).  

8. The four European countries -- Italy, Spain, Germany and France -- now account for nearly 187,000 cases (an alarming 40%).

9. The most troubling stat has been the death rate in closed out cases (recovered + deaths). In last two weeks, that rate has more than doubled, from 6% to 16% and the slope of the curve looks horrific.
