Understanding COVID-19 and why social distancing needs to happen NOW.

Sorry to be the first one to post about our current global crisis. As if we didn’t have enough of it to think about as is.

This article includes some great data analysis on the fast-growing spread of the coronavirus and why we must take extreme and cautious measures to flatten the curve. In this scary time in the world, it’s necessary to understand what it is we’re facing as a community and how we can contribute to help stop its dangers. I appreciate the design of several charts included in the article because they are pretty straightforward and simple to understand. Rather than spreading misinformation and panic, it has informed me well about how to face the next couple of weeks.
