Semi-related question: what do you use for map visualizations like those on Our World in Data. The maps there are well-designed, with mouseover and colourization based on values. Eg: https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&zoomToSelection=true&facet=none&pickerSort=asc&pickerMetric=location&Metric=Confirmed+cases&Interval=7-day+rolling+average&Relative+to+Population=true&Align+outbreaks=false&country=USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~ITA~IND https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor...
