Those charts don't tell anyone anything other than aggregate totals. As such, they're nearly useless from a scientific standpoint, and are useless to even a reasonably intelligent layman. They only appeal to the non-thinkers. They're over-simplified to the point where they can make the nearly-useless TV news story, which typically consists of three or four headline sentences, along with some rehashing of past stories (just in case we forgot and need to be reminded), and the reporter's commentary regarding their approval, disapproval or INTERPRETATION of a person's comments. At least on the "major" networks, "news" these days (for at least the past couple of decades, maybe longer) is just plain pathetic, and biased toward one "side" or the other.Question: WHERE are the new "widespread" cases of the China virus prevalent? WHAT demographics? What locales? Why? I want details! All thinking people want to know. This what is sometimes called "investigative reporting". It's easy to be a "Monday morning quarterback", but where were those people at the moment the decision needed to be made?!
I want USEFUL data!
