Found the brainwashed idiot. Don't worry. It is not your fault.

You have been deliberately mislead with statistics for months now. The media's favourite thing to do is to mix linear-scale data, logarithmic-scale data, non-normalized data, cases, deaths, and stack as many curves as possible from different countries all on the same chart until the data is uninterpretable. Whatever way looks the scariest. My favourite is when they put daily cases on the +ive Y and then put cumulative deaths on the -ive Y but use different scales to make it all look really scary.

That is why a simple chart like this is so revealing of basic facts.
