Visualizing The Spread of Coronavirus 2019-nCoV COVIDー19

The world is grappling with 2019-nCoV, the new Coronavirus spreading rapidly from the epicenter of the outbreak in Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei Province. The spreading virus, which as of February 5th counts 24,642 confirmed cases across dozens of countries, can be fatal, resulting to-date in 494 deaths. 

Given the nature of a viral epidemic like 2019-nCoV, that spreads via human-to-human transmission, the spatial component of the infection data is a critical component for understanding transmission patterns and rates, and establishing emergency response plans.
