The purpose of this page is to provide a snapshot of the trajectory of the economic impact from the coronavirus across the world. I've simplified this to trying to classify the status fo each country's efforts to contain the virus based on the characteristics of their confirmed cases curve. I've classified each country with more than 100 cases into three categories (all using three day moving averages):
The status of each country is then weighted by its GDP (per IMF) to produce the chart below.
The data comes from Johns Hopkins University.
