COVID-19

For most of us, the previous months have been full of uncertainty in multiple facets. Daily life has been drastically affected. At the time of this writing, COVID-19 has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands, and has spread to over 200 countries and territories.

It can be a challenge to conceptualize the exponential nature of the spread. I created this map to visualize the spread of the virus since tracking began in January.

My goal for this map is not to incite fear, but rather to emphasize the importance of social distancing, and how we have the power to "flatten the curve" by working together as a community.
