What Hacker News says
3 sourcesIt uses the following data: https://github.com/pomber/covid19
In Show HN: I created a lightweight Covid-19 (Coronavirus) Chrome ExtensionThanks for sharing. I also started messing with a dashboard here: https://www.germanysbestkeptsecret.com/corona
Data I used is also from John Hopkins, turned into a JSON file via: https://github.com/pomber/covid19 .
There are also some good data-related resources here: http://open-source-covid-19.weileizeng.com
It's both disturbing and fascinating to work with this data. I would love to see these datasets go beyond the basics and also include things like timelines, population size, etc, to better understand how our actions influence the spread.
