Below is a daily chart of newly-detected COVID cases in [Krasnodar Krai][1], a region of Russia, from April 29 to May 19. The population of the region is 5.5 million people. I read about it and wondered - does this look okay from the statistical standpoint? Or does this look suspicious? In my home region, Sverdlovsk Oblast, the chart is much more chaotic. I'm an amateur at statistics, so maybe I'm wrong and this chart is nothing out of the ordinary. > [![enter image description here][2]][2] According to a [news report][3] from 18 May 2020, a total of 136695 tests for COVID-19 had been made in the region since the start of the epidemic period and up to that day.
