Why Governments & You Must Act Now - Coronavirus cases mounting - but charts show lockdown brings numbers down

I watched with shock how the cases mounted as days progressed.
An animation shows the lines shooting across the chart alarmingly and the lower numbers racing past the front liners.

What to do?
Another series of charts shows you how the cases must have been incubating days before the coronavirus was symptomatic and identified.
comparing these cases each day with the lockdowns each day, it seems clear that lockdown brought down the numbers dramatically, in China and elsewhere.

The moral is that staying home and not mixing with others and not travelling really does make a difference. To you and everyone else. So stay home. Vote for lockdowns. It really makes a difference.
