R₀ and the exponential growth of a pandemic https://freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/61245
"people, certainly including myself, don’t seem to be able to think straight about exponential growth. What we see today are infections that occurred 3 weeks ago and the deaths today are people who got infected 5 weeks ago. All of this is beyond intuitive human comprehension"
I was wondering if the "time-based" axis was really a good idea, so I tried something else... here R₀ is 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4
(yes circles can be nice - and natural - to visualize data, see https://papress.com/products/the-book-of-circles-visualizing-spheres-of-knowledge)
