See today's roundup of coronavirus stats on a country-by-country basis

Here's the grid of most-affected countries.

New cases and new deaths are still rising — nowhere near a plateau.

Brazil: President Bolsanaro is a coronavirus denier and that makes these stats looks scary.

Russia is only at the beginning of the crisis.

Active cases are almost heading toward vertical.

Russia: Very bad news. New cases and deaths are rising in steep, unbroken curves.

Deaths have been over 750 for 5 straight days.

The "active cases" curve is still climbing at unbroken speed.

The UK: New cases are generally flat at about 5,000 per day but this isn't good news. While the highs are not breaking new records the lows are getting higher — which suggests Britain may not yet have reached the peak.

Deaths and new cases are down, and active cases are in decline too.

Germany: Continued good news here on all fronts.

More good news: The death toll is moderating.

France: More choppy data but an optimist might squint at this chart and say overall it's getting better.

And deaths are down likewise.

Italy: Looks like this is coming under control. The "active cases" curve is also getting flatter.

Deaths are declining but the active cases curve is not yet flat.

Spain: What a rollercoaster Spain is on. A good day yesterday, and let's hope those two recent days with high numbers remain outliers to the trend.

But there is no obvious decline setting in — which is worrying because 30,000 people per day are getting it. Unsurprisingly, deaths still occurring at a rate of roughly 2,000 people per day.

The US: Plateau in new cases is still holding, which is good because it means that the disease is spreading at a roughly constant pace, not accelerating.
