I hope I am doing this correctly; I simply want to comment on the article entitled "Timeline of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in February 2020"; I am not trying to edit the article.

There are three charts to the right of the article that show various trends over time for various "regions" of the world. The trend lines purport to be informative about their respective subjects. However, I believe that these three charts are misleading unless read very carefully. In particular, in each case the y-axis (vertical) is segmented geometrically, not numerically. Of course if those lines were segmented linearly, the trend curves would be incredibly more steep. I believe that at least it should be pointed out in each chart that the y-axis is segmented geometrically.
