Across Pakistan as a whole, flu-like illness is at 1.1× its usual; here it is 1.7×.

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 Killa Abdullah.

The travel-time map these figures come from is missing clinics in Killa Abdullah: it would put 100% of people more than two hours from care. A figure that cannot be right is left out rather than shown.
