Here's some very cool data. Click through to see more charts:

We’re tracking real-time data to get an indication of how and when countries are locking down, and which Asian countries are getting back up and running.

In these charts, the pink is normal, and the gray underneath is current. Each day has 2 spikes, for morning and afternoon rush hours. The weekend is on the right. Data is from last week: Rome and Madrid were already dead, Paris shut down on Tuesday, London a little bit starting on Friday. Here's the thing though: Beijing and Shanghai are showing almost no traffic during the day (people are going to work, but staying there), and not much traffic on the weekends, so they are still partially shutdown. Wuhan has non-existent traffic, even though the place is supposedly returning to normal (BTW: there are videos online of patients being pushed out of hospitals ... remember those perverse cash incentives they set up?). The tweet storm that follows shows other stuff, like energy use, and movie boxoffice revenues.

Here's a very cool interactive graphic from the New York Times showing how the virus spread. Be prepared to wait, it takes a lot of time to load.

MJT forwarded this site that tracks social distancing. Utah is doing OK, but that is almost all through the Wasatch Front. Iron County is doing lousy. BTW: first positive in CC yesterday; was related to travel.
