    virus multiplication is quite logarithmic … i could find supporting data, but i am sure you know this already.

      No need for supporting data. Virus populations definitely have exponential growth. I was just being pedantic about what quantitative means.

        So it could have been :
        semi-logarithmic graph
        “In science and engineering (…) a semi-logarithmic plot/graph has one axis on a logarithmic scale, the other on a linear scale.”

        But here :
        1 one axis has the scale : “low … high” (which is qualitative),
        2 the other has a linear scale (which is quantitative).
        so in this case and in this context :
        semi-quantitative seems fitting(?).
