I melt and was so cold when I read the story about Lassa Fever and .... When we eat out way to death


Sound scary, right?

Yes, but the entire story deconstruts the data visualization by conveying the story in contextual style. Full of narrative and creating a mental picture of how rodents which we leave with for years is spreading virus of death. 

Anecdote, illustration, statistics, of sick and dead were spelt out. 

We leave our food without covering them which ironically gave free access to rodents and in turn we careless consume such as easy way to death.


Attention of government failures. Poor hygiene etc in various locations/geography were also deconstructed.

Finally, a comparison was made with other diseases of similar magnitude like SARS and Coronavirus  to justify the illustration and contxual data
