Have all of those states recently ended their mask mandates or lockdowns? Perhaps all of those states ended Trump's Travel Bans? Or maybe all of those states have simultaneously imported millions of new unvaccinated people...?

I dont know. But Jeff Bezos is still worth 200 billion, while people who used to care about wealth parity are now witch hunting the unvaccinated, because the TV news told them it makes them superior or something.

What a woild!

It seems like it's time for "Web Infographics for Dummies".

1) If your base information is time-based, don't label your graphic "Current". It's only current until newer information comes out. In order for it to be relevant, you need to let the viewer know the starting and ending dates for data collection. Someone will stumble across this POS five years from now and think "Current" means their yesterday. A label like "Data from 9/1/21-9/30/21" gives the viewer context. Date range is important, because data from a single day is obviously subject to reporting errors, while data from an entire year might be too broad to be meaningful.

2) If you're going to cite sources, point the viewer to the exact place where you got the information. Just saying the data is from the CDC or Harvard Public Health isn't good enough. Those places have dozens, if not hundreds of pages of information related to Covid-19. Tell the viewer exactly where the source data was obtained.

3) For chrissake, if you're going to do a simple map with pretty colors, put a little table down in the corner to show what the colors mean. You know, dark green means <95 %, light green means 96%-99%, and so on. Looking at this map, I can't even be certain that green is good and red is bad. And assuming red is worse, I don't know how much worse. 2%? 10%? A minor difference is meaningless, a bigger difference could be relevant.

4) Explain why certain parts of the infographic have been left out. Was data not available for those states? New York and Pennsylvania haven't been reporting Covid-19 numbers? Really?

1) Apologies for no date range, that's a very valid point, but data seems to be fairly recent and from https://covidestim.org/

2) https://covidestim.org/

3 & 4) The chart isn't good, but the trend is fairly accurate, with cases rising in the upper midwest region moreso than the rest of the US.


So why are cases rising in the upper midwest USA?

Also, I replied to your comments here, but you disappeared:

Still waiting for your sources to back up your claims in those posts. :cheers:

Agreed, you can do better.

It’s the same in the Dakotas - those states are just blank because they won’t report.
I’d guess the bloom is related to Sturgis, and all the dumb trumpies that attend.

Agreed.

I have a farm in the dakota's and the majority of Dakotans feel as if they are above it all.
I suppose if we all owned 2-3 million dollars in land and revenue is 150k or better we all would feel the same ???
(They are some of the most prejudice people I have ever met. )
they have one excuse after another , because they are not in touch with the rest of the country.
Majority of slaughter houses in the Dakota's are operated by migrant Mexican's that all had CVD19 , so meat prices went up .... .
(They blame them for lose of revenue) lmao

The chart I provided has data on the rise also occurring in the Dakotas.

How many Covid-19 hospitalizations were directly linked to Sturgis in 2020? 2021?
