      ⚠️TWO DIFFERENT #COVID19 PANDEMICS—Many think with cases dropping that pandemic is nearly over. But truth is, there are now 2 different #SARSCoV2 pandemics diverging—old strain is waning, while the more contagious #B117 strain is dominating. We will be soon slammed very hard. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/AQjQ79I7sk

      Oh my goodness. I just realized I should start archiving these as teaching material. (Y axis manipulation is a common trick but usually more subtle).

          The nutritional epidemiologist is perhaps worried about losing his audience.

          Ever since everyone with a computer got the ability to manipulate data & make their own charts...🤦Sometimes it's laziness, sometimes GIGO, often unintended. This clean-looking map of arrests by state per 10^6 pop. made the rounds the other day.https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/n6nd2v/oc_capitol_insurrection_arrests_per_million/ …

          The data are real, but the map's a bit of a tease. Don't want to discount seriousness of the offense--insurrection... geez😬😟--but the map's based on a total of 412 arrests to date. Really tough to paint entire states as intensely "in" or "out." 1/ https://www.usatoday.com/storytelling/capitol-riot-mob-arrests/ …

          Hmm, I don’t actually have a problem with this one, as its purpose was to show the difference in slopes / trajectories, and to highlight that B.1.1.7 would eventually dominate. I remember seeing someone else post the same graphs with a warning label like: NOTE DIFFERENT Y-AXES

          S. Geuns-Meyer Retweeted Kai Kupferschmidt

          Found it. The alternative to having two graphs, two Y-axes is of course to have log-Y so that the early trajectories of B.1.1.7 & non-B.1.1.7 could be clear within the same graph, but something is lost by doing so.https://twitter.com/kakape/status/1357303122171985921?s=21 …

          The graph of cases in Denmark looks great. But you have to realize it shows a combination of two epidemics: a rapidly declining one of #sarscov2 and a slowly increasing one of #b117. We tried to show in the second graphic (needed different y axes). pic.twitter.com/ylq8zKNs1w
