Animated graphic showing "flattening the curve" by slowing the spread of pandemics such as Coronavirus, so that health care demands stay within capacity (international version - no text)

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Animated graphic showing "flattening the curve" by slowing the spread of pandemics such as Coronavirus, so that health care demands stay within capacity (international version - no text).
  • Suggested caption: "Inhibiting new infections to reduce cases (vertical axis) at any specific time is known as flattening the curve. It allows healthcare services to better manage the same volume of patients by spreading out demands over time (horizontal axis). Dashed line indicates healthcare capacity.
  • See Wiktionary.en entry for "flatten the curve".

Designer's notes:

  • An English-language version (with text rather than symbols) is shown and linked below.
  • Graphic was made in response to a request at Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop (diff).
  • Process: I made 49 individual graphic frames manually with Inkskape (esp. its Bezier tool) and exported as 49 unique PNGs. I imported the 49 PNGs as layers into Gimp. To pad the beginning and end with a "stationary" intro and finish, I added about 30 extra first and last frames within Gimp before exporting as a 30 ms/frame GIF.
  • Example of visualizing changing healthcare capacity (sloping dashed line) is found at:
Radtke, Alexander — Flatten the coronavirus curve. FlowingData.com. Nathan Yau (editor) (March 9, 2020). Archived from the original on March 12, 2020.
  • Text is omitted (at least in Version 1), and symbols make the graphic friendlier for an international audience.
