2500% increase! My God, they must have overflowing hospitals!

Chart shows increase from 1 case per day to 25 cases per day.

Oh. Well yeah, technically that 2500% but unless they were trying to whip up hysteria why would they say ... oh. Of course. They are.

Note: I've seen this same statistic game played in many headlines and articles like 800% increase but there is no data in almost all of them. If you take the effort to look it went from 2 to 16 cases. Doomsday! Or not. Check the actual numbers when they try to shock you with the percentages. Everything is starting with a small number so even a small increase is a HUGE percentage increase.
