For an example using Dade County and animation (two of
Marjorie's original questions!) see

For maps of Hepatitus B cases 1984, 1986-1990 based on
some work with CDC.

I should note that these data are from a passive surveillance
system (i.e. Drs/hospitals are supposed to report cases, but
there is not follow-up to see who actually reports) so any
patterns you see are a mixture of (a) population density,
(b) disease pattern, and (c) reporting practices.  With
respect to (c) we have separate animations for cases reported
by private physicians and cases reported by hospitals.
