I am pretty fortunate to live in a country with a functioning health care system. Couldn’t imagine having to weigh my health against not losing income, as if dealing with the illness itself wasn’t bad enough already

Yup, definitely. Just had it a couple of weeks ago - knocked out for three days, recovery slowly over a week or so.

I agree that this way of displaying the data is appropriate, but it would be nice to have a very visible indicator of this. Some kind of highlighted “fold” line or something at the very bottom of the chart, maybe. If I can deduce the units from context, and the trend is more interesting than absolute numbers, then I’m not going to look at the axes most of the time
