For the data heads: why have the government used a logarithmic scale on the global deaths graph they have shown in the last couple of briefings?
Because it means that exponential growth gets shown as a straight line. Left to its own devices a virus will spread exponentially, so if your line starts curving downwards you know your measures are having an effect. Equally, if it starts curving upwards then something is badly wrong.
