One of my college roommates was super interested in design and really opened my eyes to how important some of it is. It's really great finding stuff like this. The way data is presented is incredibly important, I'm glad this was eye-opening!

Great article. Even with the best possible map selection, IMO a best practice should be to use a map accompanied by a text/math description of the data. That can go a long way in terms of clarifying and educating. This sentence struck me as a converse problem: Atm, both contracting and dying from coronavirus is extremely rare. However, this could be construed that death after contracting coronavirus is extremely rare, which it is not the case. Also, just choosing the word “still” over “currently”, or “to date” suggests that this rarity will remain constant, and it may not. Basically, every effort should be made to reflect the situation as we understand it, and that’s usually best accomplished with multiple methods of presentation accompanying each other.It can easily connotate danger, and death, which is still statistically extremely rare for coronavirus.
