Someone should make a map of all the COVID-19 maps that bored devs have made.

Nicely done, you have normalized population data! Would you mind defaulting to displaying your cases normalized by population though for the choropleth? Counties aren't uniform, and so you get wildly confusing results from showing absolute data ([1] has a great set of examples).

  For sure! Often times the COVID19 choropleths often look like population maps due to lack of normalization. We added the normalization map to try and address this. Will change the default then. Thanks for the feedback.

    The data available for Colorado also includes the number of tests performed, and number of cases requiring hospitalization. If that information is uniformly available, you might consider incorporating it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11ulhC5FwnRhiKqxDl6_9PnSMOjCWnLPB?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11ulhC5FwnRhiKqxDl6_9...

      This is great. Thanks for sharing. Will look into finding a uniform dataset with testing and hospitalization data.

        Also, take a look at the graphic on case doubling time here: https://www.nzz.ch/panorama/die-wichtigsten-grafiken-zum-coronavirus-ld.1542774 https://www.nzz.ch/panorama/die-wichtigsten-grafiken-zum-cor... It could be helpful to see that with state level data.

Your site is giving me an SSL cert error. You might want to check your config and/or update your certificate.

  Certificate is perfectly valid for me. I'm not the OP but curious: what error are you getting?
  - rjeyaram 6y ago
    It is valid for me as well, but I have heard of certification errors from people I have sent it to. We have the SSL certificate and we are using https. Any suggestions on how we would go about fixing this?

      I have no idea what, if anything you did, but it works for me now.

Nice! Which visualization tool has been used here?
- rjeyaram 6y ago
  Thanks! We are using Mapbox GL JS and Chart.js

Very cool! The open source bioinformatics community is having a massive hackathon this week (400+ participants). Might you be able to join the effort and post a link to this project on the wiki [1] or in our Slack discussion? You may find many other folks interested in collaborating!
