More measles charts:


This year's cases are the most since 1992, and we are close to exceeding that year's figure.

HI's 95% green natch, except there there's a million plus smashed into 200 mi² of habitable land of 600 total on O'ahu... plus receiving air traffic from all over the Pacific Rim, including direct from three of the most densely-populated cities on earth (Jakarta, Tokyo, Mexico City)? Yeah, I'll take the yellow-green

Both the most Western places I've lived >1yr, have pretty good flu vaxxing, which I'll laud given the nonsense being puff-puff-passed around since the pando. Miracle I didn't get flu more often, alternately frying and freezing third point respectively...

Covid data... not surprised there's such a dearth of data, esp from three Deep South states. What the hell's up w/ Jersey and CT/RI though?
