But for beings who do not have plates in their heads, whose CPU's are functioning and as a consequence know what that represents, that's hard to look at. Discouraging. Disheartening. Depressing. Those beings do not want to see normal and standard there, but they do. Yesterday that bar graph did not look normal or standard. The graph yesterday appeared to our eye to noticeably tilt down at far left and far right. What looked smooshed down on the right today looks like a bookend of normal height. That bookend is May 14, 27.4k new cases yesterday. The 27.4k bar does not draw the eye as unusual and positive, one glances at the graph in whole and says, "Okay, yeah, that's a bar graph, normal looking," and in fact 27.4k is a normal number: about the same number as and visually similar to the bars on March 31, April 5, April 13, April 19, April 26, April 29, May 7. Normal is bad. Really Blows.
