The leading cause of death in America (heart disease, 600k) would look virtually the same at 0.2% of the population. Deaths as a % of population are always going to look very small in this format. Keep that in mind as you all view this. If you think covid isn’t a big deal as a result of this image, you think no cause of death is a big deal.
Not knocking the viz, just adding some perspective. In fact, I like the viz and I’m looking forward to the shit storm it’s going to cause 😀!
Edit. Here is a quick chart showing the leading cause of death (Heart Disease) in the US, using a similar format.

Is there a way to make this a time lapse?
Like watch it go month by month (or even better day by day?)

Yes - I will try to follow up with an animation over time. That will give a better idea about how rapidly it has spread over past 5 months.
