This chart--growth over prevalence--fixes this common misinterpretation. On this chart, the metro that's highest at a given value of x is the one that's doing the worst job of "flattening the curve" at a comparable stage of its outbreak. So it's visually intuitive — PolitiTweet.org

Similarly, you might assume that a country that appears 'lower' than other countries on that chart is doing fine. That's not necessarily true, either, if they're experiencing rapid growth after initial slow growth. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, I don't think this chart obviates the need for the simple chart of cases over time. And it is complicated, I get it. But I do think it directly offers much of the information that people are trying to glean for themselves out of cases over time. — PolitiTweet.org
