Description: Animated graphic showing "flattening the curve" by slowing the spread of pandemics such as Coronavirus, so that health care demands stay within capacity. Designer's note: An "international" version, without text, is shown and linked below. Graphic was made in response to a request at Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop (diff). I made 49 individual graphic frames manually with Inkskape (esp. its Bezier tool) and exported as 49 unique PNGs. I imported the 49 PNGs as layers into Gimp. To pad the beginning and end with a "stationary" intro and finish, I added about 33 extra first and last frames within Gimp before exporting as a 30 ms/frame GIF. Example of visualizing changing healthcare capacity (sloping dashed line) is found at: Radtke, Alexander Flatten the coronavirus curve. FlowingData.com. Nathan Yau (editor) (March 9, 2020). Archived from the original on March 12, 2020. Symbols make the graphic friendlier for an international audience.
