The stacked graphs are probably the most valuable for me, this isn't a competition between countries and I think the stacked graph better represents that.

- morsch 6y agoSeems to me that it's extremely valuable to compare the efficacy of different measures that were taken, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to compare the numbers between countries. It's helpful if the X axis is not simply a date but in "days since community spread started", and you're relying on the represented numbers actually mean the same thing which depends on many things. Here's an example: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-daily-deaths-trajectory-per-million?zoomToSelection=true&time=..&country=DEU+ITA+ESP+GBR+USA https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-daily-deaths-trajec...
- mkl 6y agoExactly, it's a competition between approaches. Here's a similar graph I like, with days since 100 cases on the x axis, and helpful doubling rate lines: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/infection-trajectory-flattening-the-covid19-curve/ https://www.visualcapitalist.com/infection-trajectory-flatte...
