Summary

Description
English: Animated graphic showing resurgence of cases in a pandemic as a result of inadequate mitigation.

Sourcing for general concept:

Anderson, Roy M.; Heesterbeek, Hans; Klinkenberg, Don; Hollingsworth, T Déirdre ( March 21, 2020 ). " How will country-based mitigation measures influence the course of the COVID-19 epidemic? ". The Lancet 395 (10228): 931-934. DOI : 10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30567-5 .

Designer's note:

  • An "international" version, without text, is planned and when uploaded will be shown and linked below.
  • Graphic was made in response to a request at Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop ( diff ).
  • I made 49 individual graphic frames manually with Inkskape (esp. its Bezier tool) and exported as 49 unique PNGs. I imported the 49 PNGs as layers into Gimp. To pad the beginning and end with a "stationary" intro and finish, I added about 30 extra first and last frames within Gimp before exporting as a 30 ms/frame GIF.
