COVID-19 (Sri Lanka compared with selected countries) as at 3/26/2020


The number of confirmed Covid-19 patients in Sri Lanka has risen up to 106 as of now (2020/3/27 8:53 PM).

In this analysis, I have taken all the cumulative COVID-19 confirmed cases in some selected countries (up to 26/3/2020) and compared them with Sri Lanka. 
the x-axis represents the days passed since the 100th patient. The reason to do this is to remove the long "silence" period some countries had in the beginning.

Here's what it looks like on a logarithmic scale. 

You can hover over the chart and see the values in a tooltip. If you click on one of the series in the legend section, the line will get highlighted.



Since most of the viewers are not familiar with logarithmic scales, I have below provided the same chart with a normal axis.


It's worth noticing that US has surpassed Italy on the 24th day (Italy spent 33 days to reach there)

If we zoom-in along the y-axis to have a clear view of where Sri Lanka is, we get the below.
