An important note from the author: On March 2, 2020, I published an infographic on this website that was intended to show the similarities and differences between COVID-19 and influenza. Some readers interpreted the graphic at that time to mean that we should not be taking COVID-19 seriously. That was never the intention of the graphic, but it was how many interpreted it. At that time, little was still known about the novel coronavirus and I admit that the graphic was made in poor judgment. Recognizing the rhetorical error, I quickly deleted the graphic two days later, on March 4, 2020 and made an formal apology on my Facebook page.
On March 5, I published a new graphic that was much clearer about COVID-19 and it was widely praised as being helpful, accurate, and informative.
Still, as we have learned much about the virus in just the three weeks since my initial post, it has become clear that the only appropriate source of information about COVID-19 should be coming from the medical experts, scientists, and public health professionals. I am none of those.
For this purpose, I have opted to permanently remove all graphics related to COVID-19 from this website.
Please stay informed about the virus by reading the updates on these credible websites:
