All good things must come to an end. On March 14, 2020, I created the first “curve chart” for Canada, showing the cumulative counts for each province with COVID-19 cases going back to the first, reported in Ontario on Jan. 25. Other countries, especially those in hard hit Europe, were plotting their own curves, but inexplicably there was no such version for Canada. Because the federal government only provided current data, not historical numbers, I had to use the WayBack Machine of the Internet Archive to build the chart for Maclean’s.

The chart had a simple purpose: to show in an easily understood format how many cases were being added daily; the flatter the top edge, the fewer cases were being reported over time, hence the “flatten the curve” motto used so many times in this pandemic.
