The way the graphs are shown today they are misleading for the current and thus last day in the graphs.
Final numbers for the current day is obviously not known until the day is over. By including the current day in graphs you can falsely give an impression of a development that is not true.
If you look at the daily cases graph for example, it will usually show lower numbers for the current day, than for the day before, and a visitor might think that the numbers are on their way down, while the real reason is that the numbers simply aren't known yet.
I suggest that all graphs should dim color of the last day and its connection to the previous day, to illustrate that these are preliminary numbers.
