I put this post about worldwide deaths in a thread on 20th March;

So on the 15th March 5700 deaths. Today (20th March) over 10,000 deaths. So death rate doubling every 5 days. 20,000 by March 25th. 40,000 by 30th March. 80,000 by 4th April. 160,000 by 9th April. 1.25 million by 24th April. 10 million by 9th May.

Number of reported deaths on 25th and 30th March were 19,000 and 36,000, respectively. So the deaths were still pretty close to doubling every 5 days.

The number of deaths today (4th April) was 62,000, well below the predicted rate. The good news is that the doubling rate is now appearing to be longer than 5 days and hence the measures taken by the countries across the world appear to be working and slowing the spread and hence deaths down.

Keep safe, stay home. It's working
