ILINet Flu Surveillance Data
This visualization displays annual ILI total cases from 2015 to 2019 as overlaid line charts, enabling year-over-year comparison of flu season patterns and peaks. It uses the vega-lite-api and d3.csv to load CDC FluView surveillance data, with vega and vega-lite handling rendering and tooltips. The y-axis shows aggregated ILI totals by week, while color encodes year; the code also includes a Choropleth map interaction option for regional or state-level exploration.
AI-generated descriptionA visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.
This graph shows the national ILI total cases annually. The curves from 2015 to 2019 to the present date are displayed. This plot achieves the visualization of the annual ILI total patterns in general, and also provide a direct comparison year-over-year. We can tell 2018 is the year with highest Flu cases in mid February time, while 2019 has a more stretched Flu season comparing to other years.
When interactions are introduced for the visualization together with Choropleths Map, we can select the individual yearly curve and present the map for that given year. We can also select a region or state and present a different portion of the dataset here to see more localized patterns.
