World Vitals / Mortality and outbreak watch
Track mortality indicators and active public-health watches with cautious source-first language.
Health pages must be especially strict about source freshness, uncertainty, and medical-disclaimer boundaries.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
