Description
These "top state"s appear to be hard-coded based on cases recorded in 2025.
For example PA is missing, despite having half the cases in the last two weeks (Sept 2026).
In the most recent week (w/c/ 30 August 2026), not one of these "top states" recorded a single new measles case, while the national total went up by at least 47.
Is it possible to update the top states - or have this data for all states and have a filter for the chart which could operated on any of the columns?

Research direction
Start by locating the chart and its hard-coded "top states" selection, then compare that selection with the latest state-level case data, including the week beginning 30 August 2026. Done means the chart reflects current largest outbreaks or supports filtering across all states and their available columns.
