Hi everyone,
I admire the set of charts recently published by the Texas Tribune in "Coronavirus in Texas cities: See how social distancing could reduce stress on hospitals." The presentation provides a lineup of clean, easy-to-read charts for each major Texas city, showing the projected rate of coronavirus cases under different scenarios. The presentation allows readers to very quickly see how reducing social interactions leads to "flattening the curve." The reporters kept the charts clean but still accurate by using colored bands to show the range of uncertainty for each scenario -- a touch I thought was especially important, given how much scrutiny these projections face. Ultimately this package helps readers understand the projections guiding officials' decisions on stay-at-home orders, and helps them to see how their own actions can play into different outcomes for the community.
