COVID-19 curves: Plotting the trajectories of every country

With more than 24 million cases and counting, COVID-19 has hit every continent in the world. From Canada to South Korea, every country has responded differently - in some cases, quite significantly.

I teamed up with Jesse Tahirali, CTVNews.ca’s Digital Content Editor, to produce this interactive package to chart and compare the progression of jurisdictions that have reported more than 100 cases. I also highlighted a few countries and aggregated information on the measures they took and when to give some background and context. Continuously updated.

I also wrote about how millions of people from Taiwan and Vietnam to Australia and New Zeland are also living a relatively normal, coronavirus-free life. Read that story here.

More data from CTVNews.ca: Tracking every case of COVID-19 in Canada

July 1st, 2020 — What began as a modest compilation of Canadian cases of COVID-19 has grown into a major interactive project involving many, many people, but especially Jesse Tahirali. Consistently among the most read articles on CTVNews.ca, this interactive graphic tracks the daily cases, deaths, and recoveries across Canada. Readers can take a closer look at how each province is doing, break down the numbers, and chart the curve progression cumulatively, or by looking at the new number, the 7-day average, the raw number and per 100,000 of cases and deaths.
