I fully agree. The way how coronavirus was covered, it is mind blowing. Especially nowadays with the digital era where everything is visual, it reach the reader quickly and attract their attention. We know that the media users nowadays don't have much time to read and read pages of information. So using visuals to portray and demonstrate in high quality resolution and animation and statistics way help people to understand deeply the subject and be aware of it.
This is the kind of case whem visualization -even geographic visualization- makes the diference.
