Just weighting it against the entire population makes it just as worthless though. The infection will never take off everywhere at the same time, so at least at the start - or if you manage to contain it mostly to one area like China apparently did -, only the population of the actual areas affected count. Otherwise, it's a game of "who has the most population overall" to keep the relative infection numbers down...

Interesting that they are broadcasting COBR powerpoints now on live TV. Surely a graph like this is meaningless if it's not weighted according to population. How can you compare China to UK.
