Is this global data? Not beautiful data if your international audience has to struggle to work out something basic like scope and is supposed to understand acronyms only used in your country?

All acronyms in the picture are used internationally.
The distribution seems to come from the US, because it closely matches this CDC page.

CDC is the relevant acronym. I know it’s the US now but it takes a while to work it out.
It’s JustDecipherableData not BeautifulData if your audience isn’t able to read simple things like the title.

Who knows what an Omicron variant is without having heard of the CDC?
The information that these numbers are only the US distribution would have been useful, I agree.

You are talking like an American who knows nothing of the outside world. We are here on Reddit mate. Many of us aren’t from your country. There is a big wide world out here of people who don’t make the small minded assumptions you do.
I do know the CDC is an American public health authority like the Health Departments of other countries. But it’s a rarely heard term outside the US and obviously requires explanation as a US source.

I'm not an American. But it's funny how you jumped to that conclusion because you couldn't imagine someone outside the US to be familiar with the CDC.
