Track coronavirus spread & curve flattening among countries

I created an open-source tool that allows comparing coronavirus growth between different countries on normal, log, and per capita basis so I could easily tell whether we were getting the spread under control or not.

Hi Stephen! Great work. I really like the ability to select a number of countries on the map and compare their curves on the same chart. Though I can't find any mention on CSSE github page that their data is updated every 15 minutes. I only found that the update frequency is once a day. Is there another CSSE data source or do you use any additional sources? My teammates and I created a similar product (https://www.producthunt.com/post...). We use CSSE data as well for historical charts. In addition to that we take data from Wikipedia which updates very frequently to get near real-time statistics. Would be great to hear what you think about it!

@bilevn thanks for the feedback and for the link to your site- it is beautiful! I appreciate the information about the Johns Hopkins repo- it looks like the web data branch is now being updated once and hour based on the commit history but maybe that’s not a reliable way to tell. Good idea fetching from Wikipedia too, I’m sure that helps.

I created this product after I needed a way to compare the log of coronavirus cases between countries to tell whether the spread is slowing down and I noticed that the main tracking websites didn't allow me this level of control. It pulls all the data from the Johns Hopkins CSSE data source which updates every 60 minutes. Since transparency is super important to me and I wanted to make this something that people will use, I open-sourced the project so that others can see exactly how I'm doing the calculations and visualizations for this site and make suggestions. Enjoy and don't forget to wash those hands! Stephen
