COVID-19: Track, Map, and Animate the Coronavirus with Python & Basemap

If you want to stay on top of the coronavirus, one great way to do so it to plot its progression over time and around the world. We're going to do just that using Python, Baesmap and a great dataset from Kaggle. We'll even animate the progress, as shown here. Join me in this free YouTube walkthrough. This is a great way to get involved and keep an eye on this developing story.

good start, it seams that *very important dimensions/factors* are not available.
* age ( e.g. >80yo death 21%, 70-80yo 18%, etc)
* medical care ( e.g. intensive care death 1%, hospital 5%, home 18%)
* sex (woman same age and conditions 3%less death probability)

I updated the code to not sum the cumulative counts but use the latest value - play around with the circle sizes depending on how you want your maps to look.

Something seems to be off. When you created your first map, using 2020-01-22, there is a circle, but that isn't mainland China on the map - it's India

Thanks for the really cool topic. I will appreciate it if you post the installation process later regarding Basemap for non-technician. It's challenging for a beginner to implement. Thank you!

Thanks for creating such a valuable tool to gauge the spread of this (mostly benign) virus. This is the first map I've seen that so accurately depicts where exactly the virus is affecting.
