This chart shows the global cumulative death toll from COVID-19 over time using a logarithmic y-axis scale, allowing early exponential growth to be compared alongside later plateaus and surges. The line is rendered as an SVG path generated with d3.line, while time is mapped by scaleTime and deaths by scaleLog. Axes are built with d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft, using tick formatting for compact notation, and the data is loaded from the Johns Hopkins CSSE CSV via d3.csv.
