Some interesting infograpics but I really don't like the

"Coronavirus vs Sars: daily cases and mortality rate"

it is a misleading way to represent the data. By separating cases from deaths you are mislead into thinking the death rate (your chance of dying if infected) is much higher for Covid-19. Its shortcoming would be obvious if they had included data for the regular flu which based on American numbers should be somewhere around 130,000[1] annually.

The

"How deadly is coronavirus?"

infographic is better, but it doesn't give you any point of reference to make the scales meaningful.
