Covid-19-data: Example: Mobile-friendly interface for navigating the top COVID datasets

Describe the project

RonaViz is a fast, mobile-friendly interface for the Times' dataset. I wanted to build a quick way to check in on friends and family in other states and counties to see how things are doing there. I found it especially useful to supplement the Times' data with hospitalizations and testing data to get as clear picture as possible of where things are at. The design is built for quickly navigating different levels of hierarchy in the country. You can quickly tap on states, and zoom into specific counties. If you're interested in a more holistic perspective of the country, the table at the top works great for that too.

The data is always current and updates to use live data as soon as a significant chunk of it is reported. The supplemental data comes from the COVID Tracking Project and Google Community Mobility Reports.

Massive thank you to the Times for making this dataset available. It's a true national resource and makes me proud to be a subscriber.

The code that powers the site is available on github.

Have a URL or images of the project?

The site is available at ronaviz.com

Here are a few screenshots of the project:

_Selecting a state to see which counties have seen the most new cases._

_Comparing case growth in a region over time._

_Monitoring the national test positive rate_

_Viewing current hospitalizations for a region of the country_

_Examining retail visitation behavior as it compares to the national average_

That's so great it works well on mobile. That's such a needed thing and so hard to do. Thanks for doing that. I hope it gets a lot of traction because so many other sites don't work well or are confusing with lines everywhere.
