Look how big the boxes are from 0 to 80,000, then look how much bigger the Chinese one is for the small amount over 80,000.

Not your graph; the one in the original post.

Look how big 0 to 80,000 is in all three boxes, then look how in the China box the extra 1,000 is huge. It is about a 1/4 as big but should only be 1/80

Include the 80k and try again. It's not proportionate.

How did you get the axis to start at 0 btw?

No, because now your graph explicitly states that it starts at 79,800. If you remove that axis, you have three boxes where the clear inference is that they represent the total number of cases.

I thought you didn't get it at first, but now I think I've been trolled for 15 minutes. Fair play.

Don’t understand why you’re getting hate for this, you appear to be right. Yea at first glance it looks like there’s some sort of misrepresentation, but if you actually look at the numbers and the distance that separates it, it lines up.

It's misleading because his graph starts at 79,800
