Covid Clarity

Data visualizations of the current and historical infection and deaths data

Comment 2

Inspiration

I wanted to create a way to see the spread of the virus based not only on current data, but historical data as well.

What it does

Allows you to see the infection and death rates in the US for any specific day that the data is available for.

How I built it

I built it with D3 and used a lot of example data provided by the creator of D3 Mike Bostock's example(https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/5925375).

Challenges I ran into

D3 can be very complicated and working with even small details such as the legend can take a lot of time.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm really happy with how the chart turned out and the ability to change the day to see the corresponding data.

What I learned

I feel a lot more comfortable with D3, although I still have a lot to learn. I also learned quite a bit about Redux and thunks while creating this project.

What's next for Covid Clarity

I would like to make some more D3 charts to add to the visualization options of the site.
