Thank you for this.

But what about the rate of increase? Isn't that someting to look at as well? Could it be that Italy is harder hit simply because the virus has been circulating there longer?

Yes -- that would be a great information to have -- that is why I have a  date column -- The issue is that the data is all over the place. 
Realclear politics does not store the date, Bing neither -- The CDC has the data so I could in principle download it from there. 
The number of case/recovered would be really useful to estimate the state/access to care by states -- The numbers by themselves are useless (because we dont know who is affected) but the ratio could be a neat proxy metric to measure how efficient are the different countries/states in treating the people who are counted. The caveat, of course, is that this needs to be compounded with the demographics of the country (for example Italy is skewing older --as does Germany --- than other European countries).

I could do that (I am a data scientist...)  just because I am fed up to look at bogus claims without backing on data or backing the claims on suspicious data -- but I also want to think about something else than how to destroy an economy (and the jobs of many) in 10 days...
