The Wall Street Journal has created a series of data visualizations highlighting how coronavirus has impacted developing nations. The visualizations show that COVID-19 cases grew rapidly in South Asia and Latin America as cases began declining in Europe. The visualizations also show that the mortality rate is frequently lower in low-income nations than in more economically prosperous countries.
