Why each district against itself. A large district always has more cases than a small one. Each dot is a district against its own usual, so size drops out.

How far is care from here?

Dooram does not show walking times for Badin.

The travel-time map these figures come from is missing clinics in Badin: it would put 90% of people more than two hours from care, yet 62 of the 64 hospitals and clinics volunteers have mapped here sit where that map says care is over an hour away. A figure that cannot be right is left out rather than shown.
