I created this short video to visualize one of COVID-19's deadliest attributes: It's exponential growth of infections due to a lack of vaccines and natural communities.
Exponential growth is a difficult concept for many people to grasp. I've worked on multiple financial literacy products, and one of the hardest concepts to convey to students is how a 401k (which also relies on exponential growth) works.
COVID-19 is forced us to face exponential growth in the real world. For many people trying to comprehend its spread, charts and graphs were an impediment rather than an aid.
