Across Pakistan as a whole, non-cholera diarrhoea is at 0.8× its usual; here it is 1.2×.

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 Chagai.

The travel-time map these figures come from is missing clinics in Chagai: it would put 98% of people more than two hours from care, yet 4 of the 4 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.

Can we trust this week's numbers for Chagai?

Yes, for this week. Chagai sent figures in 34 of the last 52 weekly reports.
