Thanks for this, I really like the visualisation; it's particularly great to have a colour-coded world map with tool tips for the total cases. Do you have date information as well? A date slider (i.e. frame=date) would be great for looking at progression over time.

I think the multi-data log scale is a bit confusing as presented. The china example is demonstrative of this: there are a lot more "recovered" cases than "dead" cases, but the opposite seems to be the case as presented in the graph. I'd recommend putting the bars side-by-side as a log scale. Colouring them based on their linear proportion is another option, but demonstrating how that works on a scale is tricky.

Hi @gringer,

Thank you so much for looking into this and your thoughts on the applications.

I will make the necessary changes and suggested by you. I would like to ask one thing, my app is loading slow, could you please suggest something to make it bit loads faster.

Thanks,
Shubhram
