2nd chart is just bad. It’s wild that people can produce something like that and then think it’s worth sharing. Like you were in a race to post and had to get it out immediately, every country looks the same? Whatever, good enough.

1st chart is just a population heat map. It doesn’t really tell us anything but which counties are heavily populated.

Overall a big miss here.

California and Chicago holding it down
