North Carolina just had its first confirmed case [1] if someone can update map--Bluecrab2 (留言) 20:52, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Uneven color scale

The scale is very uneven:

50 / 10 = 5

100 / 50 = 2

500 / 100 = 5

1000 / 500 = 2

...and so on

This sort of data tends to follow a log distribution, so the wide bars will on average contain 2.5x as many items as the narrow bars.

Better to go with either 1,10,100,1000,etc (every bar is the same width), or for more precision, 10,20,50,100,200,500,1000, etc (all bars have either 2.0 width or 2.5 width, so there is only a one fifth difference in width maximum).

Mismatched date

The file summary data isn't being updated and still reads March 6. This conflicts with the caption on the English Wikipedia, which reads March 9. -- Unconventional (留言) 11:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Automating this map

@Redditaddict69: Would you have any objection to this map being automatically updated once per day with a script? It looks like right now it's being updated by hand about once every two days. Kaldari (留言) 15:27, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

@Kaldari: No objection. Go ahead Redditaddict69 (留言) 22:03, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
