Project CovidStats

Summary/Description

This project will be focusing on COVID-19. The website will visualize statistics like the number of cases, deaths, and cures in the US and other countries both individually and in proportion to total population. There will be graphs to track growth of the virus in multiple countries as well as the ability to compare them. The website is built using Python Flask, HTML, and Javascript with the python library D3 to visualize statistics.

A demo of this project can be found at my personal website.
