Simple Curve Approximation Tool (SCAT) is a tool allowing the user to approximate and draw curves and allows testing of assumptions, trajectories and the wildly varying figures reported in the media. The software allows quick approximation of the curve and creates meaningful comparisons and understandable visualisations for COVID-19 and other diseases SCAT is provided online as a downloadable MS Excel workbook with some sample cases show.
