In andrie/covid-19: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

covid-19

This is another analysis of the outbreak of Coronavirus / Covid-19 disease.

Many others have done excellent analysis, and my attempts are specifically trying to add flavour to the statistics in South Africa.

Data source

The data source is a repository maintained by Johns Hopkins University. The data is updated once per day.

Linear scale

Using a linear scale it’s easiest to see the relative scale of the worst affected countries, but it’s hard to distinguish the countries that were affected later.

Logarithmic scale

Using a logarithmic scale it’s easier to discern whether the pandemic is still in the exponential growth phase. On this scale, a straight line indicates exponential growth.
