Graphics

The Guardian used to be good for striking centrefold photographs. While we are now finding that the Financial Times is good for striking graphics.



The first is becoming an old favourite, having been around in something like this form for a while now. And which continues to tell us that we are not yet out of the woods. We may not have got back to the peak achieved by a number of the leading Western democracies back in April - with their state of the art health care systems and their state of the art governance - but we are heading in that direction, with the top of the graphic more or less stable but in a bad place and with the bottom of the graphic slowly but steadily getting worse. The only good news seems to be that the UK is dwindling to insignificance in the big picture.

The second is new to me, bringing out for me both where it is that African Americans live and how many of them there are. With what looks like a worryingly good fit to a corresponding graphic for the current state of the coronavirus. Is it any wonder that there is a lot of anger?
