This isn't the best article, it appears to be a student activity guide. I was just intending to link to the graphic that has appeared throughout the nytimes' coverage.

I meant the OP article.
How does the article downplay it? It's about how not to misrepresent the data.
"Red is too alarming, we should use blue" doesn't reconcile with the severity of the situation as far as I can tell.
I don't think that is an accurate characterization at all, what they were saying about color choice was more nuanced and allowed that things might get much worse. Why start with the most evocative "danger" mapping when there are a lot of unknowns?
