Since the beginning of the Covid-19 Crisis in the US, I found myself consulting local data and the data at John Hopkins to make decisions from how to get food, to how will this impact my retirement plans. I quickly got tired of the delay as these data sources rendered the data on demand for me. A friend and I also wanted a better way to detect trends in the data an see what was happening.
The data feeds are only updated a handful of times a day, so realtime rendering isn't needed. This site is pre-computed when the data is updated to provide a static website that loads very quickly on any device. A friend wrote the python code to read the data and create the graphs. I wrote the code to take that and generate a static website from the different graphs for various locations.
