You think part of the problem with the fearmongering around this virus is stuff like this?
While a cool use of data visualization tools, it doesn't serve much purpose other then "look how worried you should be at this thing that you can't really do much to stop." We get it, there is a pandemic going on. Highlighting it doesn't help much, especially when you don't show any of the positive data- such as recovery rates.
- s3cur3 7y agoI mostly agree, but for areas that haven’t been hit yet, this kind of up-to-the-minute info can help you decide when you need to put you/your family “on lockdown.” Here in Kansas City, we only got our first confirmed case on Saturday—prior to that, my wife & I agreed we should continue business as usual.
- zigzaggy 7y agoOut of curiosity, how has your plan changed? We haven’t had our first case either but I’m sure it’s around the corner. My wife and I are working on our plan tonight. This is probably the last weekend we’ll have before it comes here.
