This one makes more sense based on the headline. Though while I can see why they wouldn’t want the charts getting out (being actual facts and all), this one is really just common sense. Oh, wait. Nevermind.

Holy shit, I didn’t notice it was a log plot. You can select linear vs. log at United States Coronavirus, but linear is the default.
I see by that site, btw, that we’ve passed 75,000 deaths.

The WH doesn’t want too much of that going on.

Lemme get this straight: The administration suppressed release of taxpayer-funded, science-based guidelines from the agency whose reason for existence is to control the spread of diseases. Guidelines for all sorts of institutions of our democracy so they can design their own plans to proceed in a sane, life-preserving way in the face of a global health crisis that has killed tens of thousands of Americans and about a quarter of million worldwide so far?!
Surely that’s illegal, right? RIGHT?!

That’s a weird graphic, it’s neither linear nor a proper log scale on the Y axis
The distance between 100,000 and 1,000,000 is about 3× the distance between 10,000 and 100,000

according to the .pdf graciously posted by Senorwences the US has spent 5.8 billion dollars on “Emergency Protective Measurements,” That’s more than 1/5th what we spent in corporate welfare to airlines. That means we could have scrapped that “emergency protective measurements” money and given the airlines another 20%. We are so lost. /s

That a hella misleading graphic. The Y-axis is a lie. Either make it linear or make it obvious it’s log. Which I don’t think it is either.
Not yelling at you, @Scientist.

Yeah the plot is terrible, but there were worse in the report. For instance this one which has no units or axis label. The line is tracking number of daily tests (unknown units) and the color indicates the results of those tests (also unknown units). Its almost like the people working on this stuff in the U.S. government are incompetent.

Well, the graphs don’t look as pretty if there’s small print cluttering up everything… /s
