Thanks for flagging this! Hawaii's outbreaks show up behind the legend currently (see May 2025). I may move the legend in a future update so they're not obscured.

On a personal note: It's disheartening that this project was needed, but I hope it'll be a helpful resource in these troubling times. It's been in development for some time, and we're glad to finally have it out in the world.

Thank you for the kind words, @angierasmussen.bsky.social! We're excited to have this resource up and running. We're launching with these nine for now, but may consider adding others down the line!

Also lots of credit to data editor @akrugman.bsky.social for putting together such an easy to use tracker. If you're taking requests, I vote adding rubella.

In the name of axing an incredibly small investment (parts of which go to Americans to produce the aid given), the US throws away a massive amount of soft power as well as vital assistance that would make the world safer for all (including Americans)

I spoke with poultry veterinarians about how the new version of H5N1, called D1.1, drove the trend.

In Dec. and Jan., poultry producers culled 41M chickens because of the outbreak—three times more than the same period last year.
