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).

- rjeyaram 7y agoFor 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.
- rch 7y agoThe 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...
- rjeyaram 7y agoThis is great. Thanks for sharing. Will look into finding a uniform dataset with testing and hospitalization data.
