Pretty but inaccurate. Many of the thing list are not a virus. Malaria is a parasite, TB, cholera and typhoid are all caused by bacteria. Could easily be made accurate however by simply classing them all as infections.

Good point about the pathogens being incorrectly referred to as viruses, especially in the right-hand column.

Weird to compare the numbers killed by a disease over a 10,000 year period next to one that killed over a two year period.

Instead of counts, should have graphed the rates of disease instead of a count. That would take into account that population was much smaller at the time of the black death pandemics.
