Hi HN,
I couldn't find a richly interactive COVID-19 map anywhere that includes historical data, so I made my own. I used SvelteJS and deck.gl to create a fast and functional frontend. The dataset comes from USAFacts[1].

- HarryHirsch 7y agoOne very useful metric would be the percentage of cases in each county. That's missing from most every map you find.
- freedmand 7y agoGood point. I was thinking about that and will plan to add it in. You think something like cases per 100,000 would be a good metric?
- HarryHirsch 7y agoEveryone uses either cases per 100000 or cases per million. Of course it's a messy number due to unequal access to testing, but eventually it will even out.
- clouddrover 7y agoHere's a map from Johns Hopkins: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
- freedmand 7y agoI've definitely seen/used that map, which as far as I know is one of the authoritative ones worldwide. I wasn't able to see how to paginate back in time with that map to view growth, which was one of my primary motives for building this one. Is there a way to do that with the John Hopkins map?
