Coming up tomorrow: back on the regular Monday-Wednesday-Friday posting schedule, I’ll look at some other ways of plotting case data.
Want to try out some other ways for yourself?

I’d love to see what you can build with it, and I’m happy to help you figure it out!
Update tomorrow, and every day after that until this pandemic comes to an end.
