I’m a Visual Guy. I Like Photography, Pretty Colors and Even Word Pictures

And that’s part of the reason that I’m loving this graph from Information is Beautiful

The other reason is because it looks like in a lot of places that the curve is flattening. I’m hopeful this means we can come out of our houses now. I know that a flatter curve doesn’t mean that we’ve beat the coronavirus, but I think it means a lot fewer people will suffer. I think it means our healthcare systems won’t be overwhelmed, (unless we’re unwise, of course).

Beautiful News

I’m also a fan of their Beautiful News Daily feed on Instagram. It seems like their mission is to find the positive data and present it beautifully. I find it’s a nice antidote to The Media’s seemingly endless supply of not so beautiful news. Here are two of their recent posts:

Some Good News

Which brings me to John Krasinski’s Some Good News. I’ve watched every episode, and each one gets me all misty-eyed. If you are one of the 17 people on planet Earth who have not seen this, get to clickin’!

I feel like I need more stuff like this. I need some beauty. I need some good news. I don’t want to use these things to completely shut out the bad news of suffering. I also need to remain sensitized to reality and to the struggle that so many are going through. But it’s not wrong to look for positive things in the midst of this difficulty. Thanks Info is Beautiful and John Krasinski for making our world a bit brighter!
