because I'm a dumb fluffybunny, can you explain that graph to me? How can the Aus line be going back up? And the data i have seen has Australia's cases per million actually lower than New Zealand's?

I think it's charting new daily cases. Both Aus and NZ are below 1 per million, but given NZ hasn't had a new cases in ages it's lower than Aus who are still chalking up the odd case.
In NSW we have had about 15 cases this week, but all of them are overseas travellers in forced quarantine. So things are clearly getting better.

yup it's the 7 day rolling average of confirmed cases/mill. A 7 day average is the best way to look at it because of variations in how numbers are collected and reported.
For most countries the number of the tests that they carry out drops markedly at the weekend and if your not testing you're not finding new cases. Then there's a second lag before the data goes through the local bureaucracy before being collated and reported. So typically fewer new cases Sat Sun Mon then a spike Tues as they catch up on the weekend before you get something like the real situation Wed-Fri. A 7 day rolling average flattens out these variations allowing something like the real picture to emerge.
Its still a useful little graph I think to see where the hotspots are and who is on top of the contagion. Latin America and South Asia are fucked. USA is just trucking along with a pretty flat line, most of Europe trending down although UK is slower than others and Sweden is still increasing.

A country that didn't lock down and didn't have a death rate per head of population is Japan
Maybe its all due to how deaths are recorded though.
But this needs to be investigated openly and honestly otherwise nanny state Western leaders will do the same again (it's the nature of the beast).Japan locked down and schools closed. What are you talking about? I work for a Japanese company and we had to send some secondees home to be with family for the lockdown
Primary and secondary schools closed (they just reopened), all universities implemented study from home policies, and most companies instituted work from home policies. My wife works for a major automobile manufacturer; they closed the factory and HQ to all staff - those with managerial jobs/admin worked from home, and those on the factory floor were on reduced wages (80% with a 50/50 split between gov/company).
So, @Winger not a full 'lockdown' in terms of NZ level 4, but certainly very detailed lockdown measures.
The difference is that the government has no power to mandate companies to follow them - but of course they all do.
