Difficulties tracking coronavirus statistics

Staying on top of the coronavirus statistics isn't an easy job. However, sources like Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science in Engineering make it a bit easier to see the full picture of the severity of COVID-19's impact around the world.

ValueWalk has created a tool that uses John Hopkins data to graph coronavirus statistics and keep track of how the world is faring in the fight against the virus. The tool allows you to choose a country and select from the number of confirmed cases, the number of people who have recovered from the virus, and the number of people who have died from it.

The tool even allows you to track each nation's progress in the battle with COVID-19 by looking at how many cases they had throughout different times of the fight. For example, you can zero in on the early days of the pandemic to see how quickly each nation's number of cases jumped starting with the day when tracking began. You can also look to the summer months to see how each nation did then when the numbers started to look less severe.

How to use the tool

To use the tool to track the coronavirus statistics, choose a country from the first dropdown box. Then select from "confirmed," "deaths" or "recovered in the second box. Finally, move the slider to the day number you want to look at within the data to see how the country was doing around that time. If you wish, you can even download the graph created by the information you input.

Below the graph, you will find a chart listing each country's number of cases, number of deaths, and death rate from the virus. There is also a search box in case you don't want to scroll through the list and look at each one.

The coronavirus statistics are constantly changing, but tools like this one will enable you to stay on top of what's happening around the globe.
