How To Tell If We’re Beating COVID-19

Created by Henry Reich of MinutePhysics this video is a collaboration with Aatish Bhatia about how to see the COVID-19 tipping point.  Together they present a better way to graph COVID-19 coronavirus cases using a logarithmic scale in “phase space” – plotting the growth rate against the cumulative cases, rather than either of these against […]
