What is the justification for selecting the range 2022 - 2025? I suspect that this is cherry picking.
One of the data sources they reference is: https://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/data-research/cases/index.html, this site has data up to 2023 (I could not find 2024 - 2025). Here is the plot of the total hantavirus cases in the US vs year:
The number of cases vs year is rather noisy, and 2022 was a particularly low year. Saying that there is a ‘192% increase’ might be technically true but misleading.
Not in the least since it’s not the Andes variant that’s in the news.
This is just clickbait.
What’s this?
Just commenting on how hard it is to distinguish some of the colors.
Using the eye dropper browser tool to check the line against the legend.
Good point
California and West Virginia are the same colour.
