Interesting, Jérôme!
What about hospitalizations, respirator use and deaths?
Those would be instructive too!
Do we know why Europe did so much better than the USA or India for so long?

The reason behind the lockdown is that the hospitals are filling up, apparently.
No, I don't think we do. I don't even think that the recent rise of the R0 in several European countries is well understood. India is doing surprisingly well amongst thse 4, BTW. Their population is 3 to 4 times bigger.
You can play with the curves here: https://mackuba.eu/corona/#compare?val=d&c=us,eur,br,in
You can choose the curve corrected for population and there is also a death curve. You can also add countries.

Up to a point. State limits are arbitrary and may not correspond to actual epidemiological limits. In the end, it all depends where one draws the limit. for example in March, statistics for the USA as a whole were still good, but statistics around the city of New York were atrocious. We may have the same effect in India at present, I do not know.
