Hi,
I found this graphic in the Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/health/coronavirus-how-epidemics-spread-and-end/

It shows and compares different diseases spreading (COVID-19, Measles, Ebola) by number of infected, dead and recovered along the days.
The graphic is dynamic but not interactive. It plays and stops by itself but the different diseases and remedies are shown if the user scrolls down. Then a textbox with information shows the context of the graphic to be shown.
So it is a combination, mainly comparison and time series, of different ways of showing the data.
I would have kept the historical data on the side of the chart because it shows the data dynamically along with the dynamic graphic, I think it loses context. They should have kept at least the data of at least 3 different moments during the evolution of the disease or remediation.
