I'm sorry but to all the math and science geeks who are plotting #COVID19 cases and deaths on log scales because it's more appropriate, please understand the public and politicians DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEY MEAN. https://twitter.com/kevpluck/status/1241031816447954944

Here are the same data plotted on a linear scale (top: the one we're all used to) & on a log scale (bottom). BOTH show exponential growth, but that just looks like a straight line on a log scale -- not very scary. But the reality is the top: things are going to hell quickly.
