Would like one day to draft a manuscript that does not contain 10 supplementary figures.

Too many stories in the data.
Interesting retrospective cohort analysis of suspected #LassaFever cases in #Nigeria.
Finding that case positivity rate has declined since 2018-2021 to around 10%, suggesting dramatic improvement in test availability and surveillance activity. 👏
