Still requires some work, but usable.

Hi @ivo and @marekd. Can you add this plugin to the plugin gallery? if it qualifies. Admittedly, it has little to do with the weather, but I think it is very relevant.

Description:

• This Covid-19 plugin displays the dramatic unfolding of the Coronavirus pandemic.
• The historical data come from Johns Hopkins CSSE's repo on github: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19.
• The Johns Hopkins github data lag their dashboard by a few hours.
• The most recent data come from Worldometer: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries.
• I obtained the geojson files for the region boundaries from various sources, predominantly from here: https://geojson-maps.ash.ms.
• The population data also come mostly from https://geojson-maps.ash.ms, and Wikipedia.
• The data are displayed as an interactive chloropleth map, the color shading is logarithmic by default.
• You can select absolute cases or cases per population, and all cases or new cases over a selected number of days (1-7).
• Moving the time slider at the bottom, updates the map.
• The left pane shows the graphs of the country selected with the Picker. If the Picker is closed, the world is shown.

Latest changes: Added the most recent data from Worldometer and added a slider to select the number of days (1-7) for new cases. To-do the population data seem outdated.

@rittels Hi, the covid plugin seems to be broken. Are you planning to update it?

@korina

Hi Korina. Not immediately. Not sure if it is still relevant?

@rittels Thank you for update. Just wanted to check since a user was asking.
