It would be cool to add the ability to draw an exponential curve over the data with the doubling time of your choice.

That is a nice idea. Maybe on a separate tab called "sandbox" or something, so there's a sharp distinction between reported numbers and extrapolation/projection from them...

Just added a tab to compare reported infection rates across countries with at least 100 confirmed cases. This was in response to a widely-shared chart published by the Economist (here) that does the same, but without adjusting for population size.

Okay, now I've improved that rate-comparison chart in response to some additional feedback and added a tab for comparing trends across U.S. states.

Refactored this morning to catch up with changes overnight in the structure of the data shared by JHU CSEE and to simplify and improve some of the data munging and plotting code.
