Hey for the #rstats people out there - did you know that the R Consortium sponsored the Dengue Data Hub to provide a centralized repository for dengue incidence, mortality, and risk-related data. Learn more about it: r-consortium.org/posts/empowe...

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 2y ago

"The analysis suggests dengue cases will continue to skyrocket as Earth's climate continues to warm. By the middle of the century, the number of cases could rise by 60% as more parts of the world enter the mosquito-friendly temperature zone."
