3-12 DU corona virus tracking report.

I am tracking the corona virus daily in our country.
Just some simple stuff, dates and how many cases.

I am getting the numbers from here. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

Simple statistics will tell you that the smaller the sample, the larger the impact of a certain outcome.

The infection rate will also rise as more people are tested. Those are trends that I am watching and we all should. When either of them plateaus we will have the actual numbers.
Thanks!
