Data for Victoria 12 October is incorrect by about 1 order of magnitude

The Victorian Government data shows 19,229 recovered cases for Victoria.

while the covid-19-au site shows 192,229, resulting in a newly recovered count of 173,011 for that day.

Add state by state trendlines

Love the website

I think it'd be cool to have a section that had all the trend-lines for each state

[Feature request] Auto-refresh

Great dashboard, can I just request an auto-refresh feature?

Ideally it'd be nice to have a toggle and have the time last updated.

Latest update says 13:44 22/03/2020

The latest stateCaseData.json update gives the "updatedTime" as "13:44 22/03/2020".

I suspect this is incorrect, as the previous update gave the update time as "08:57 26/03/2020"

QLD LGA specific data

Hi,

First of all, great site. I just wanted to let you know, if you didn't already, that the QLD Gov is now publishing local government area (council/shire) specific data here: https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/current-status/statistics

This is more precise than the HHS-level data, and would make your heatmap and/or shading more accurate and useful for queensland.

[Feature Request] Div ID

Add CSS ID's to individual 'modules' to allow for easier CSS modification in browser addons.

Text colour contrast

Fabulous site - important information - well done!

The headings in the Cases by State table are difficult to read - especially the purple on purple. I couldn't make it out on a small screen at all.

Here is some info about accessibility and contrast https://webaim.org/articles/contrast/

Thanks again.

Case maps fail to render on Firefox and fail to show case data on Chromium

The district maps for both national and state wide data no longer render on firefox (90.0.2).

The situation is marginally better on chromium; the map renders, but not with any data.

[feature request] Implement optional population normalisation and log axes

Hi there,

Would it be possible to have an option for all state data to be per 100,000 population, and also plot the charts in log view? Perhaps radio buttons up the top. I would offer to do this myself but have 0 experience with JS.

Thanks very much for the fantastic resource.

Aus confirmed cases dropped

I have a net negative of 10 new cases after the 31/5 refresh. Confirmed cases dropped by 20 in Tas is part of the problem. I am using the state file

Number of recoveries - VIC

Hi - thanks to your team, this is fantastic. Any chance you can update the number of recoveries from Victoria through the DHHS media releases? As of the last day or two, they now disclose number of recovered cases daily, eg:
https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/more-covid-19-cases-confirmed-victoria-21-march-2020

Unfortunately at about that time the Aus gov website (presumably where your headline figure was coming from) has stopped disclosing too which makes things a little more difficult :(

[Feature Request] Daily Growth Factor Chart

First of all, great work on this & thanks for pumping out the features.
I had a spreadsheet I was tracking a lot of these, but its pretty much become useless now in favour of this dashboard!

Onto the feature request...
Would it be possible to add in the ability to see daily growth factors?
Essentially, the Growth Factor helps show pretty quickly which way daily cases are trending.

The equation is
= ReportedNewCasesForDay / ReportedNewCasesForDayBefore

e.g.
Reported New Cases for 8/4/2020 = 105
Reported New cases for 9/4/2020 = 85
Growth Factor for 9/4/2020 = 85 / 105 = 0.810

Essentially, a GF of < 1 means a reduction in cases, whereas a GF > 1 is an increase

Plotting the GF day-by-day on a bar chart can pretty easily give a good overview on whether cases are trending up or down on a daily basis.

As the chart can also look a little sporadic (as some days might be a 0.9, 0.8, 0.9), It might also be cleaner to plot the average GF over the past 7 days, which evens out the trend & makes it a little less sporadic.

There's a pretty good explanation of it in this video (link to time where its spoken about)
https://youtu.be/Kas0tIxDvrg?t=316

I've plotted it in a google sheets doc, in case it helps:

Twitter is not working under Firefox.

Tested on Firefox 74 (64-bit) on Windows 10. No content in Twitter element. But works on Chrome and Edge (non-chrominum version).

Text overflowed on iPhone

covid-19-au.github.io/src/App.css

Lines 140 to 144 in 71538c0

	.recoveredtitle {

	font-size: 90% !important;
	font-weight: 500;
	}

[Feature] Current active cases

It would be good to know the current active cases (cases who haven't recovered or passed-on), especially as the new cases start to slow down.

Apparently it was removed with #95 due to being "unintuitive" although that could just be naming ("Existing" does not make sense to me).

[Feature Request] RSS Tracker

Users can keep updated with the Tracker.

Text overflowed on iPhone X Safari

Some of the texts for the table headers are overflowed on mobile devices. Please see the image below for details.

Besides, looks like the State has a larger font size than others.

covid-19-au.github.io/src/App.css

Lines 140 to 144 in 71538c0

	.recoveredtitle {
	color: #002a00 !important ;

Difference between confirmed and existing cases

In the historical data charts, it’s not clear what the difference is between confirmed and cases.

Can you add definitions to the charts, please?

[Feature Request] Source of Transmission for Cases

Knowing if a case is a foreign-acquired vs local transmission is quite important to track epidemology with the new quarantine rules instated.

daily and timeline data

Hi,

Brilliant work guys and thank you.
any chance to publish raw data similar to
https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data

Data source popup issues

• Should use cursor pointer
• NSW health link not working
• some typos

Update URL with each page

Implement routing so that you can link to the info and news pages directly.

[Feature Request] suburb level case numbers

NSW Health seems to have higher resolution data sets, where you can query by postcode. I think this can be really helpful for people to understand what's going on in their immediate locality.

https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/dataset/covid-19-cases-by-location

Can we integrate this data into the current map, or an ability to filter the data set presented on the map by postcode? I can see we have a lower resolution "locality" case numbers already.

Cases by State map not shading NSW (possibly since cases > 999)

The Cases by State appears to be reading (current as at 21:37 AEDT 25-Mar) 1,029 NSW cases as 1 NSW case (not handling the comma thousands separator).

"Hospitals & Cases Map" doesn't load background

Using Brave (Chromium based). No background, just pins.

Also, the title should be: "Hospital & Case Map".

Postcode data

Is postcode level data available for "Recently confirmed case"?
Where is this data sourced from?

Ranking criterion

Wow! Great Job! It's really helpful to alert people about the situation.

I also have a suggestion here:

Insert the number of newly confirmed as a ranking criterion. During this time( Rapid growth period), the most important information is the newly confirmed every day.

Add total count to tables

I know this is in the above table, but when viewing the case table (as I do daily), it would be nice to see a sum count
