I went for walk this morning and it was very quite, the hutt motorway was also very quite and looking down towards the Beehive there was almost no traffic on the road.
Wellington airport had an early flight I noticed but not much happening at all there at the moment.
Back at doing the covid data, now with Datawrapper have cases by region Map and table
NowI need to start refining data a bit more and also analysing it as well.
So, first off, the main areas are Auckland & Wellington, the Capital and The Main port of Entry to the country (Auckland), and quiter in the hinterland.
Since the infection came from abroad this seems reasonable.
Otago is higher than Canterbury because of the Cattle fair where a few people caught it.

The MoH has restructured and simplified data source and made a map, so I can' use that source anymore for analysis.
Global information
Global daily Death rates so far
In the chart below, if you hover over a country it greys out others so you can see clearly where it lies.
What I see, in Europe from the 2 charts above is that there is a Southern social aspect, of hot weather and going out and meeting people more, to the Northern, colder clime where people are also a little more reserved, eg Norway, Sweden, Germany.
Reading the article where the graph above there was a comment:
What we do know if that the mortality risk is higher for older populations and those with underlying health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and respiratory disease
So, I wonder if these are areas of Europeans retiring to the sunny climes of Italy & Spain? I know on the South & East Coast of Spain there are quite a number of British retirees. So maybe a skewed population pyramid in those areas.
There is also another chart that shows deaths by age in China:
Why are southern european countries having more deaths than northern countries, eg Italy/Spain versus Germany, Norway Sweden?
More older people? I think that might be one factor as retirees would head to warmer climes.
