Visualizing Coronavirus Cases and Deaths by Country and US County #etc#coronavirus#shapefile#h5v Videos showing the spread of confirmed COVID-19 cases and death by country and US county/state per capita from 2020 to 2023.

Cases and Deaths by Country
Week on Week Incremental
Cumulative
Cases and Deaths by US County
Week on Week Incremental
Cumulative
This post visualizes global and US county level coronavirus data from
Johns Hopkins University. Four videos show both cumulative and week on week
progression (comparing seven day moving averages) of the disease together with four images that show the most recent snapshot. It used to be updated weekly, this stopped August 5, 2023.
Cases and deaths are shown simultaneously using blue for cases and red for deaths.
Where both are high a region will be a shade of purple. Regions with no data are dark gray.
The week on week incremental visualization is useful to see the history and current state of the spread of coronavirus.
Each region is shaded based on the highest number of daily cases and deaths for that region and is relative to population. For example if the highest
number of deaths reported on any day in San Francisco county is seven, then any day that has seven deaths will be the
brightest shade of red. This shows where COVID-19 is relatively bad over time.
The cumulative visualization is shaded relative to the highest total death and case count for any region, relative to population.
As the location and date of the peak in week on week and cumulative cases and deaths change over time the videos will be
different each time you watch. Bookmark this post and check back for weekly updates.
(This is the fifth version of this post as I have changed the data source and methodology several times.
I usually preserve the previous version of any post but the changes are large enough that in this case I have removed them).

I've just launched a redesign of I Thought He Came With You. The main thrust is to make the site more usable on desktops. Which seems nuts, but the data doesn't lie. The site has low mobile traffic and for a while I thought this was some kind of technical issue. I optimized the design heavily for mobile and spent a lot of time on speed and some AMP. I guess it's the content. Google loves it when I write documentation for them and doesn't think I have anything useful to say on politics. They're probably right. So I've gone back to having an old school sidebar and I've taken the performance hit of using Bootstrap to get some better looking forms and navigation without spending a lot of time on it. I hope you enjoy it, and if you find anything broken please email or leave a comment.

Clockwise - Meeting Defragmenter #etc#lazyweb#meetings Clockwise - a tool that is close to my idea for a Meeting Defragmenter.
Back in 2016 I shared an idea for a tool that would automatically arrange meetings to maximize stretches of production time. As a marketing genius I called it Meeting Defragmenter.
I just read about Clockwise, a startup that is doing exactly this. Right now it supports GSuite and it looks like Office365 is coming soon. Can't wait to try it!
