Introducing a new, 3rd measure into my framework. Here we have "Daily Deaths per 1M Population" As opposed to TOTAL deaths, like in Part 2, DAILY deaths is NOT a cumulative total, and separately plots each days deaths (per 1M population). This measure does in fact look strictly at absolute...

This one is more straight forward. As the title states, this one measures the total, cumulative deaths per 1M population over time. This is the data used to calculate the change that's plotted in Part 1. As the graph in Part 1 approaches 0, ie: the increase in death slows...

Daily Change in Total Deaths per 1M Population This graph represents the CHANGE in TOTAL (cumulative) death rate from one day to the next. The natural occurrence for this type of data is for it to spike earlier on when the numbers are smaller and therefore more volatile. For example,...
