COVID-19: National ImpactsMore than 185,000 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in 145 countries across the globe, as of March 17, 2020. Caveat: some countries, most notably the US, are woefully behind in testing, which undoubtedly means their counts are unrealistically low.The map above, by the Agence French Presse, is a static depiction of countries hit hardest by the pandemic thus far. The blue circles show cumulative cases, the white dotted lines represent those recovered, and the colored circles in the center show the number of deaths in the country - red representing fewer than 200 deaths and yellow, more than 200. While this map does not detail the intra-national spatial patterns of the disease, it effectively captures a snapshot of the cumulative impact on national governments and economies, and elucidates the current stage of the pandemic across various nations.Source: American Geographical Society -- source link
