The links to the data sources are: - COVID-19 data: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/download-todays-data-geographic-distribution-covid-19-cases-worldwide This dataset contains daily COVID-19 cases and related deaths per country from the beginning of the outbreak until the end of 2020 - World Development Indicators: https://databank.worldbank.org/source/world-development-indicators this dataset contains world development indicators for all countries for the year 2019 before the outbreak started. I've aggregated and merged the two datasets in Google Spreadsheets [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XzeSHF9i8dbQ1hLEqyYGifyC0wD1yzTIFuPmx_LxLc4/edit?usp=sharing). The combined data can be explored on the interactive scatterplot below. You can select metrics in the drop-downs and see how each country compares. You can also size symbols by population and colour them by continent. Clicking on a continent in the chart's legend will toggle them in the plot.`34:T42b,md`## Disclaimer Given the sensitivity and gravity of the COVID-19 outbreak, I feel that I should state that I am not providing any analysis or conclusions in regards to what some combination metrics might suggest. I leave this up to person exploring the data and people smarter than me. It is also important to keep in mind that the numbers that each country reports on COVID-19 cases might not always be accurate or truthful, depending on a country's testing strategy and government transparency. Finally, regarding that each country is currently still at a different stage of the progression of the outbreak, it is probably too early to compare all countries directly at this stage (you can use the legend to filter scatter plot by certain continents). All this should be taken into consideration when exploring this chart. A similar project has been done by the Worldbank here: https://datanalytics.worldbank.org/covid-dashboard/ Another great resource on statistcs and research about the Coronavirus desease is here: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus`35:T6ff,echartOption = ({ backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF', title: { text: `${xMetric.split(" [")[0]} &\n${yMetric} by Country`, padding: [0, 5] }, legend: { top: 35, data: Object.keys(echartsSeries) }, xAxis: { nameLocation: 'center', name: xMetric.split(' [')[0], nameTextStyle: { lineHeight: 25, } }, yAxis: { nameLocation: 'center', nameGap: 60, name: yMetric, type: scatterStyling.includes('log') ?
