Why do I get an error message pointing to Inf values when trying to plot counts over time in R?

Question

I am using the code given in this answer to generate this plot

library(rvest)

cachedir <- \"cache\"
if (!dir.exists(cachedir)) dir.create(cachedir)

With this line, you are calling the base R plot

plot("Confirmed", "Last_update", Atlantic, xaxt='n')

And plot a character versus another character, which is not going to work. So most likely you need something like this:

with(as.data.frame(Atlantic),plot(Last_Update,Confirmed,xaxt="n"))
axis.POSIXct(1,at=Atlantic$Last_Update,
labels=format(Atlantic$Last_Update,"%y-%m-%d"),las=2)
