This isn't going to destroy the universe, but I've noticed that your data on the UK recovery rate currently reads at 0. This, of course, is wildly inaccurate, as the current total of recovered patients in the UK is 2,018,844 (according to Worldometers).

Thank you for your time. You're all doing a great job!

Hey,

Just wanted to mention that the hospitalization rates for new york might be wrong. The page is currently listing 0 cases per day since early June which I thought was too good to be true. I check here and it seems like we're still admitting 60-70 COVID patients per day.

Not a huge deal, just thought I'd mention it :)

Not really an issue... More like a 'feature request'.

1. Change "Mortality Rate" to be based on total population rather than just those tested. Or at very least add that stat and then rename what is currently labeled "Mortality Rate" to something like "Mortality Rate Over Tested".
2. Add line graphs (maybe as overlays) for both "Daily Hospitalized" and "Daily Deaths". These stats are far (by orders of magnitude) more important than "New Cases", which is almost an irrelevant statistic.
3. (Wish-list) A graph showing current hospitalizations or daily hospitalizations per number of hospital beds in the state. Much harder info to get from an API though, I presume.

Thank for considering my requests.

Can we have a graph that shows confirmed cases divided by daily tests ratio? It could be useful.

One thing that bugs me personally is the choice of icons for deaths and recovered. The sad-sad-tear-tear icon kinda subverts the notion of death by replacing it with an instagram-era virtual something that is not real. More appropriate choice would be a skull, it's a familiar icon that's been historically used extensively in various places, to denote danger to life.

Similarly, recovered icon is a happy face but it's been reported that not all recoveries are complete and without issues and there's also a chance of being re-infected again. Don't know what would be more appropriate in this case. Thumbs up is a bit overoptimistic as well but could work.

Confirmed cases could use a classical red cross symbol outline.
