  Main problem is that its not really an axis at all.

    Maybe what’s important is the axis we made along the way

    I think it’s just the number of diagnoses made in that particular year. But it doesn’t matter because we know this graph is made up anyway. It’s a Trump administration putting it out, I bet not one of them knows how to get excel to output a bar chart, so instead it’s just random rectangles they’ve drawn.
