I was looking for town-wise data for my county and there wasn't anywhere that showed the numbers on a map. (This is still not accomplished by this map)

This started my journey of I'm-definitely-not-wasting-my-time-procrastinating-from-work project of making a COVID map.

There's a bunch of great tech that lets you display these amazing 3D maps, and nobody seems to be using it.

Here's my go at it.

Nice. Would it not be possible to source data for other countries?

It's totally possible.

Getting good structured covid data that correctly maps to state/county geometry with corresponding IDs can be a bit challenging.

I've done USA/India and Ontario (Canada)

Crazy, is this on mobile? If you don't mind sharing your Hardware/OS/Browser details.
