Hi @yuval-harpaz - apologies for all the confusion here! The big difference here is that the JH data (and the OWID data) give daily numbers, but for CoVariants, we use a 2-week period (you can see what this is by mousing over a period on the plot). This should reconcile the numbers - if a place has 3000 cases a day, in CoVariants that would be 42,000 for the two-week period (and assuming it was sometimes higher than 3000, I imagine we hit matching numbers).
I hope this clarifies the discrepancy!
yes, all clear now, thank you
This may be my misunderstanding, but I cannot match the total variant count with the number of cases reported by JHU / OWID. Here we see that the peak for Singapore and Italy was around 3000 cases per million a day, while the variant count peaked to ~45k per million (daily? weekly?)
