It is not a graph of growth rate. It is a graph of death rate, and it shows the death rate on a day-to-day basis is pretty much constant for a while. If we have pretty much the same deaths per 100000 from one day to the next, where is the growth?
- mkl 7y agoIt is a graph of the rate of change of the total number of deaths, in units deaths/day. I.e., the growth rate of the death count. The total number of deaths is approximately the area under the curve, so if the curve stays constant as time goes on, the total area (number of deaths) increases linearly.
