Introduction

I am a freelance developer based in germany with a background in information visualization. This is a personal web project of mine.

At the beggining of the corona crisis, I found the situation regarding visualizations about the current cases and incidence rate unsatisfying:

  • Most of the web sites only reported absolute cases, and thus, data between regions or countries was not comparable.
  • Additionally, I did not find any visualizations which showed the development of the data over time on a map.

The situation regarding the visualizations improved greatly since, mostly regarding the first point and there are many nice visualizations out there. Still, I haven't found many websites addressing the second point and I thought this could be a nice challenge. It is by far means perfect or finished. Whenever my time allows, I will try to improve this site.

If you have any questions or feedback of any kind, I am happy if you reach out to me using the contact details below.
