new story with D Keating on a seemingly simple but overlooked covid rate issue: as more people are vaxxed, covid cases/hospitalizations are concentrated among the unvaxxed... which means their risk is actually much greater than general pop rates reflect. washingtonpost.com/health/interac…

New version of a story we first did back in May, looking at the covid case rate when the vaxxed population is factored in. One big diff: In May, low-vax states were actually looking better than some high-vax states. With the delta surge, that's over. washingtonpost.com/health/interac…

When generative art makes the A1 :) Sunday's front page was our story on the U.S. life expectancy gap, feat. a print version of the generative rings I built for online. You can see your own personalized version of this viz in our online story: washingtonpost.com/world/interact…

Some tech notes for the nerds: I built the viz here in plain old canvas/javascript (in React), with a RAF loop for animations: washingtonpost.com/world/interact… I tried *a lot* of implementations (SVG, P5, animation libs). This was by far the most performant and easiest to manage!
