“If we were to see immune damage manifesting at a population level, it would look like what we’re seeing today: big waves of common illnesses. Unusual spikes of uncommon illnesses. Course reversal for previously declining and eliminated illnesses. An unexplained, global wave of sickness.”

Because it was time, I have -- finally! -- created a FAQ for the church, to answer most of the questions that come up whenever I mention that indeed, I own a church. The FAQ also has lots of pictures so you can see what it looks like now. Check it out:

@TheNovemberMan wow 75k? I have to say that’s very tempting but I lack the talent to secure independent employment like writing or a brain (product of suburban C-burg schools). My mom would like me back in Ohio tho.

of course I have no idea until you tell me
isn't that what we're here for (social media, but we could take that all the way Here), to share our pain for amelioration or our fun for greater fun or our worries to come together or find others' answers, and so on?
and isn't that what democracy is, what our politics to be meaningful ought to be about?
and when I say "what are you doing to help you be wrong?" it's not meant to be accusatory, but to open conversation about what might/could be done, even when you are already overwhelmed, because each little push, even barely discernable, adds to the overall, could inspire other pushes little or large, could help you to feel less alone/less impotent/more a part of We the People -- or not
just my ignorant take

Stop ‘clearing’ the unsightly results of poverty so that dignitaries can think you’re a better city than you are. This is what happens when a city values ‘appearances’ over problem solving. The cause of homelessness is billionaires, their empty buildings, and the low wages they pay, their wage theft from the poor, and the government praising them for being ‘successful’. It’s time to be Human again. huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-atlan…

I'd welcome your constructive criticism to make this image better.
Measles-related immune amnesia, version 1.0.
I'd also wanted to show the temporary total lymphocyte drop, but it got too complex. Perhaps this captures that anyway?

@WestLawns Excellent! Although getting to *that* point may be harder for some than others.
in reply to Ian M. Mackay, PhD (he/him)

@WestLawns I was wondering about that too - Would it be worth sacrificing a bit of the numerical accuracy (maybe ameliorated with a label showing the actual numbers) to make the drop a little more obvious? Glancing at the final picture, it looks like there are fewer of both types of cells, but I wasn't sure if that was real or in the realm of artistic variation.

I feel a little dirty suggesting this - I think I've been trained to be suspicious of that artistic licence (or outright neglect) from too many bad infographics.
