Trump quote visualisation[edit]

The visualisation of quotes from Donald Trump (20200401_trump_coronavirus_quote_timelines_-_washington_post.svg) is misleading due to its orientation. The dates are listed on the y-axis and the number of cases on the x-axis, which gives the impression that cases are decreasing when in fact there is an exponential increase. The chart should be re-oriented with dates on the x-axis and cases on the y-axis, as this is a much more usual and expected way to display change over time. 212.250.23.88 (talk) 08:37, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
