Why would the existence of this map have anything to do with optimism? Yes, I agree, morbid--but The Chronicle is reporting and if they are neutral, which no one is but they ideally intend to be, they should have no motive to make you feel anything. Those people died, does that kill your buzz? Oh, sorry.
