COVID-19 has rapidly become a world-changer. While the world’s Healthcare professionals prepare for the unknown, many of us are seeking useful news and updates. Recently, The Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University released a COVID-19 Dashboard that has a fantastic interactive map. Click here to view. In the spirit of Open Data, they also made their data set publicly accessible on GitHub.
I built an interactive report using the data, which you can use below. I’ll keep the data updated daily, and add new content when possible. Any advice or suggestions about new perspectives, calculations, and content would be welcome as I plan future iterations:
There’s an icon in the bottom right corner of the report to expand it to full screen mode. Click the bars, use the icons on the charts, re-sort the columns, drill up and down to new aggregation levels, expand the size of web parts, navigate to the other pages and find new perspectives on the data.

Please note that calculations such as Death %, Recovered %, and others are not intended to be predictive of actual risk. Until the pandemic ends, the full sets of data will not be available and curated. Unreported cases, time to recovery, inconsistent criteria, bad data and more could all skew the correct interpretation of these numbers.
