by meep
It’s Valentine’s Day, so let me do something I love! Fixing graphs! And complaining about North Carolina!
A friend shared the following on Facebook:

Mortality with Meep: Comparing COVID-19 and 2020 Total Death Rates Against U.S. Historical Rates
by meep

Looking at two versions of a graph of deaths — no need to exaggerate a trend. by meep
I have been seeing various people talking about buying (and selling) in the current market. My general advice is: DON’T. Now, there are lots of outs to that advice, and the main out is if you’ve done this before. And you are able to suck it up if you lose a... by meep
I may (or may not) do something more involved later, but I thought I’d share some of the materials I’ve found the last few weeks re: COVID-19 and its deadliness and infectiousness.
