Listen "TWIW 55: How to track a pandemic"
Episode Synopsis
This Week In Wellness whilst the media is reporting the seemingly exponential growth of Coronavirus worldwide some are suggesting that the spread of the disease may be plotting a different path.
It is common in the media to show linear graphs of the Coronavirus that show seemingly exponential growth and this growth has been extrapolated by many experts in the media to forecast dire results. Kenneth Chang, science reporter at the New York times argues that we should be looking more closely at the logarithmic graphs of the spread rather than the linear graphs.
