Animated chart shows rise of death count from Covid-19 to other causes of death

Am I a horrible person for having an internal horse race announcer calling out the chart as it progresses? “It’s malaria leading homicide, Parkison’s, and drownings. Malaria is pulling away! Malaria with a commanding lead… but wait! COVID-19 is putting on a burst of speed! It’s breaking through the pack! It’s sprinting past Hepatitis! It’s passing drugs! It’s flying past homicide and Parkinson’s. It’s malaria and COVID neck-and-neck! COVID pulls ahead! Down the back stretch into June, it’s COVID with a commanding lead!”

I suspect the answer is yes, yes I am.
