data+table+and+graph

For the Data and graph for your disease, please follow these criteria.

Data
 * 1) Collect as much continuous “Reported Cases” data as you can. For most diseases this will be 1944-2007.
 * 2) Created a data table for the data. Criteria:
 * 3) Meaningful title
 * 4) Diseases name
 * 5) Country name
 * 6) Dates
 * 7) Type of data
 * 1) Data is sorted appropriately (oldest data at the top)
 * 2) Gaps in data should not be entered as zeros, but should have an indication in the table that the data was missing from the source.
 * 1) Borders
 * 2) Headers
 * 3) Fits on one printed page

Graph BONUS: For extra points, you can determine the line of best fit for the data and the equation for that line.
 * 1) With the data, create an x-y scatter plot graph in a separate sheet in Open Office.
 * 2) The graph should fit these criteria
 * 3) Meaningful title
 * 4) Diseases name
 * 5) <span style="background-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Country name
