check out this if you haven't already. you can sort by location. it keeps looking to me like france was so at the beginning. https://nextstrain.org/ncov https://nextstrain.org/ncov

it also looks (to me) like italy got it perhaps from france and not directly from china. it is extremely informative if you watch it on a timeline. iran figures apparently not available.   

kirkland is where most of the washington nursing home deaths occurred. that needs to be studied and studied and i am sure the university of washington is on it. the numbers of not just infected (and now many dead) residents are shocking..but what is more shocking is the numbers of staff, who are not even tested yet as far as I know. some hospitals at capacity in Seattle area. which is not the problem..i personally could sleep on a smelly army cot in an ice rink..but ventilators are a problem. Dyson is said to be turning to manufacturing them...or perhaps they were just asked.

A country can not turn loose of its manufacturing ability or its agricultural land or its water. And a country that can not get many many thousands of masks and hospital gowns made quickly, assuming supplies were available, is in serious need of realignment.

I would love to again from statisticians about everything, especially about the nextstrain charts.
