Interesting for shapes of the curve but not international comparisons of absolute number of cases so much.

The curves show the astonishing initial rate of growth and the reduction in the acceleration in each country as the social policies begin to work. The steepness of the curve is mostly a reflection of the containment policies in each country. The steepness of the US curve shows the abject failure of Trump's response in comparison to, well, everyone else.

[ps a country's population size ought not to influence the rate of growth, as the virus is no more infectious in any country, but will influence the curve's longevity]
