During these dramatic weeks of COVID-19 pandemic, my thoughts go to all people and families that are suffering because of the disease. Also, I think we should really thank all healthcare professionals that are currently fighting against the virus.

These visualizations are built on the top of the daily COVID-19 data obtained from John Hopkins University, and plotted using the Covid19CountsPlot R library (https://github.com/dami82/Covid19CasesPlot). Briefly, instead of visualizing cumulative data, here I am showing day-by-day numbers. The goal is trying to understand when selected countries (or US States) of interest are reaching an apex or a plateau. Also, I hope to gain insights about time relationships/gaps between number of new cases and COVID-19 related deaths.
