At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE) put out a dashboard with a map of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 which made the rounds in the internet.
Curious about the data source for the JHU CSSE map, I found their GitHub repository and started a simple data viz project, enriching the data with a dataset of country populations I cobbled together with internet searches and WHO data.
In July, 2022 I created my first shiny app, a spinoff of the data viz project.
Interact with the shiny app here.
