Moving to a polar representation, we classify the plumes' form through a set of three geometric parameters yielding two complementary rating scales for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic types: one according to their epidemic magnitude-labeled with roman numbers from I to X for increasing strengths-and measuring the "size" of a national outbreak, and a second one according to their intensity-labeled alphabetically from A to D for increasing speed-quantifying instead the damage inflicted on the population. ./cache/cord-220618-segffkbn.txt ./txt/cord-220618-segffkbn.txt
