At reader request, I’ve added these daily charts from 91-DIVOC. The data is the Johns Hopkins CSSE data. Here is the site. I feel I’m engaging in a macabre form of tape-watching…. (A reader asked the source of the data: Johns Hopkins CSSE. DIVOC-91 does allow other data sets to be used, like Our World in Data and The Atlantic, and where they provide visualizations similar to those below, a cursory comparison shows that the shape of the curves is the same.)

Poet John Keats is being brought virtually back to life 200 years after he died - including his voice, face and clothing - by a team of scientists.
Keats died on February 23, 1821 and to mark the 200th anniversary of his death experts from the Institute for Digital Archaeology have virtually recreated him .
Linguists, curators and physicists worked together to give the poet an extra 24 hours of life - a comment on the fact his tombstone says he died a day later than he did.
The poet was 25-years-old when he died of tuberculosis in Rome - where he had gone in the hope the Mediterranean sun would ease his condition.
