Merits of log–lin plots. (a) Real data (full lines) for the number of infections by COVID-19 pandemics in Italy (black) and The Netherlands (red) over only 13 days, t = 0 corresponds to 7 March 2020. The inferred τNl = 4.7 d and τIt = 5.7 d from the log–lin plot suggest a different handling by authorities. (b) The merits of a log–lin plot by the simulation of N (full lines) and \(\dot{N}\) (dotted lines).
