A web site to visualize covid-19 statistics from John Hopkins University.
The site is updated daily.

Purpose:
More than numbers, I hope the site will help contribute to answering these questions:

Roadmap for site:
This is a work-in-progress currently only showing country level statistics.
The rough plan is to extend along this roadmap:
- publish public repo for other developers
- drill down to community level statistics
- connect to statistics on frontline workers.
- support community driven mourning
