#2I can’t scroll if any chart is under the scroll point (iPhone).
Anyway, please don’t shade countries by number of cases and use percent of population instead.

#3please consider not using a pie chart.

#5I like it. There are some scrolling issues on touch devices conflicting with the interactive charts.

Can you touch the text to scroll? I managed to workaround to explore

#7I am questioning accuracy compared to https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...
e.g. czech republic has 0 cases in the infographic which is false, at the time of writing this comment there are 253 cases

#8please consider not using a pie chart.
The pie chart is fine. They can be bad when one wants to compare several similar categories, but they are fine when used to compare a part to a whole. Also it has a hole in the middle, which mitigates the problem of visual angle comparison.
It's not good to blindly follow rules, just because it's fashionable to say a certain thing. Especially in the fields of data visualization and user experience, which are mostly pseudoscience bullshit anyway...

Interestingly this uses JHU data [1] (with lag because they don’t push in real time), yet somehow managed to omit part of the data, e.g. 8k cases in South Korea completely missing.

#10I very strongly recommend against putting pages like this up, unless you are qualified, especially with claims like "always updated", and especially as you are giving medical advice like "stay at home".
Some years ago, when I lived in a boat, I wanted better presentation of the river conditions (which you would look at if you wanted to go out for a cruise). I put something similar together. It scraped the UK's Environment Agency website and showed the status of various stretches of the River Thames on a Google Map. Just for fun.
I got an angry email when the scraper broke and the data got out of date. "You're putting lives at risk". I took his point, and took the site down.
The odds are much higher in this case. It might seem like a nice portfolio piece, but could be dangerous.
