I get that flattening is good, but the animation is actually harder to read than the original static graph (Pearce). I can't stop it to read it. I can't read which outcomes are fatalities, and which are not. I can't read the total number of infections or total deaths. In addition, like Pearce, neither axis has a scale so this is purely qualitative. It's made to look like it's quantitative but it's not. A rational decision maker (if only we had them) would trade the cost of aggressive quarantines (economic and political) or aggressive testing vs the cost of infection (economic and human). Flattening the curve saves lives, but how many? Can I save 1000 lives in my country by an absolute ban on all gatherings of 100 people? and so on.
