This doesn't really matter, you're just doing that to make it easier to compare. Shifting South Korea so it doesn't overlap the other countries is possible but not terribly useful.

They do seem to be missing Denmark though, which should stick out somewhere top-left of Norway.

I was just talking, via text, to a friend in Norway. They're going for major restrictions on contact and the people there are not worried enough yet. I sent her that graph.

Norway is going into full lockdown (stay at home, don't hoard). Borders closing except for export/import from Monday. Hut vacations now getting banned as well.

Which is a good plan and similar to what Denmark is doing, ie. stay at home as much as possible, everyone who can work from home does so, closing the borders for all non-essential traffic, and so on. There is a whole system being set up for compensation to concert venues and other businesses who are severely hit by the lockdown and blanket ban on gatherings of more than 100 people.

Open air walks are ok, as long as you keep a reasonable distance to other people. Only go shopping if it's absolutely necessary.

And yet some people are still going to crowded bars, like nothing's going on. It's amazing how stubborn some people are.

There's a distribution of who gets it when. The bans will be for those last 20% who just refuse to care about anybody else.
