What irks me about this map for potential plague focus areas is:
While the red areas elsewhere are somewhat detailed (for example how the risky area zig-zags through Mongolia and god knows why there is also a tiny safe spot at their westernmost tip) the entire west of the US was deemed by the map creator to be a potential danger zone which additionally doesn't even spill over to neither Canada nor Mexico (though I concede that there are a few other examples like the Turkmenistan-Iran border which also seems to spot the plague risk for whatever reason)

Can't help but get the impression that the map creator wanted to make the US look more dangerous than what it actually should be.
