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 To-do the population data seem outdated.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?

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.
