Welcome

This 3D interactive map plots the current and historical COVID-19 cases per-county. You'll see a colored bar for each US county, where the height represents the number of cumulative reported confirmed cases. The colors indicate the percentage change from the day prior.

How to use this map

This map is fully interactable—so move around, zoom in for more detail, and also change the 3D perspective. The navigation works as follows:

  • Left-click and drag to move/pan the map
  • Scroll to zoom in on your cursor
  • Right-click and drag to adjust the camera tilt and bearing

Furthermore, there are data-related features to understand the data better:

  • Drag the blue cursor on the history graph to move "back in time" and see the cases since January 21st, 2020.
  • Toggle per capita mode to view the cases as a proportion of the county's population.
  • Hover over a county bar to see case and death counts.
