According to the graphs, the U.S. reported over 1,300 deaths in the 20 days since marking its tenth fatality. At the same 20-day benchmark, China reported around 1,000 deaths.
The graphs also show that the United States' death toll curve will continue to increase in the coming weeks, whereas fatalities in China have begun to slow. At the 35-day mark, the Asian nation reported 2,715 total deaths.
The graphs also show that the trajectory of the U.S. death toll curve is on pace to double the number of deaths reported every three days. The data from the graphs is pulled from Johns Hopkins University and Worldometers. The graphs were published on Thursday, March 26, just a day before the U.S. surpassed China for most confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19. On Friday, Italy also surpassed China in confirmed cases. According to a tracker provided by Johns Hopkins University, there are over 92,000 confirmed cases in the U.S. and over 86,000 cases in Italy, compared to China, which has at least 81,000.
The difference in the rate of cases and deaths in China and the U.S. may show the ways each country handled the outbreak. China placed their entire nation on lockdown following 30 reported deaths, while the U.S. has yet to implement a nationwide lockdown. Instead, individual states are determing their own coronavirus containment policies.
