− | I tried my hand at graphing the data for the United States, in this spreadsheet here: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W1ttxu9Dths5uOLOzk7VHd78hXG0EgeMkW5TCtdgtqw/edit?usp=sharing]. If anybody is motivated enough to add data from other countries, go ahead. As it is, this data doesn't really look anything like what Randall graphed, making me think that he just made up the lines.

− | :: Well, since the x axis doesn't graph time, there's no reason for the trend lines to be functions of x— he just chose to draw them that way. Both x and y are independent functions of t. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.174.70|172.68.174.70]] 19:11, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

− | I suddenly wondered if the graph means negative test results to date; or the new ones returned today. Same for the Google results, I guess. The Y-axis explicitly says it's talking about the total number of cases and today's death count, but the X-axis doesn't say for either of its values. And then that gave me the idea that "total" on the Y axis might actually mean "worldwide". So now I'm reading the Y-axis label as being (today's deaths in $country)+(worldwide infection count/population of $country). Maybe that makes the graph more useful.

− | So did this comic not come out on 4/15 or is that just me? It seemed like all of yesterday was still the Conway Memorial comic. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.63.167|172.69.63.167]] 22:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC) Acolyte

− | ::I saw this comic on 4/15 (late in the afternoon/early evening PDT). According to Randall [https://xkcd.com/archive/ here], it was posted on 4/15. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.34.104|172.69.34.104]] 00:19, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

− | :::looking at the first capture in the internet archive (https://web.archive.org/web/20200415230401/https://xkcd.com/2294/), it was indeed posted on the 15th -- albeit at 23:04:01. [[User:Gir|-- //gir.st/]] ([[User talk:Gir|talk]]) 13:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

− | I've removed the remark that logarithmic scale axes "would not have evenly spaced ticks as shown", as it is incorrect. when the marks are 10, 100, 1000, ... the marks are evenly spaced. [[User:Gir|-- //gir.st/]] ([[User talk:Gir|talk]]) 23:00, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
