What diseases are rising in Edinburgh?

Disease and outbreak signals in Edinburgh's news coverage, with the state as context for thin city-level signals.

Summary

Health alarms are present but not intensifying: disease-outbreak coverage held flat at 15 mentions. The evidence is too thin for a confident picture of everyday health.

WATCH Watch for renewed outbreak coverage rather than treating a flat line as reassurance.
