Food allergy anaphylaxis hospitalizations

American food-allergy hospitalisations climbing while CBS Survivor's average viewership shrinks. Two completely independent trends on opposite sides of the regression line, sharing a window because the early-2000s television hit happens to be aging at the same rate the country is becoming more allergic.

Food allergy anaphylaxis hospitalisations climbed steadily across this window as allergy prevalence rose (especially in children) and recognition-and-reporting improved. Survivor's average viewership declined from over 13 million in its 2005 heyday to about 4 million by 2019 as broadcast TV fragmented and streaming redistributed attention. Two completely unrelated public-health and broadcast-TV lines on opposite trajectories, sharing a window because the same eighteen years inflated one and quietly emptied the other.

Some institutions shrank and some symptoms grew. The decade was generous about which kinds of bad news got attention.
