Good point.

Pueyo offers better presentation of the by-country data,
but where does ncov2019.live get the US by-state data? 

I would like to see US by-state numbers for total cases 
per 1M population, like Pueyo's site does for countries.
A bit of calculator work suggests that Missouri has the
lowest fraction of cases per capita in the US, though
that may be due to inadequate data and innumeracy.

Myself, I'd like to know the cases per capita in Multnomah,
Washington, and Clackamas county.  When Washington county
bumps up by one, I'll check my temperature to make sure
that it is someone else.  Still, a fever is better than
room temperature.

Shara and I don't plan to leave the house very often. 
Now that we know how to make sterile wipes, we plan to
buy everything over the web, including food and produce,
and wipe down boxes and their contents as they arrive.

Disinfectant makes lettuce taste /nasty/  :-/

Stay healthy, folks.  I don't want PLUG meetings to be
too noisy because everyone is using oxygen concentrators.
