The Worst Days: Confirmed Daily Deaths due to COVID-19 So Far

Repository of the latest visualizations showing confirmed daily deaths worldwide and per country relative to each's worst day.

  • You can find more background on the idea, pros and cons of this visualization and some general thoughts on how to design visualizations dealing with COVID-19 on my blog.

  • All visualizations include only countries with 50 or more confirmed daily deaths due to COIVD-19.

  • On April 17th 2020, officials in Wuhan, China, revised the city´s coronavirus death toll retrospectively; the deaths have been added proportionally to the daily confirmed deaths of China until that date.

Tools:

  • I prepared the data with the help of the programming language R using the tidyverse package collection and the packages lubridate and zoo

  • I created the visualizations using the R graphic library ggplot2 plus the packages ggtext, showtext, rcartocolor, and gghighlight. The animations were created from the static plots using ImageMagick in R via the magick package.
