Hi HN! I wanted to find a good API for COVID19 data but the ones I came across seemed less than ideal. I hacked this together over a few hours and will be extending the routes as time goes on. Data is pulled from the Johns Hopkins CSSE github repo and will update daily.

The idea is for people to be able to use this to build graphs, mobile apps, etc.

Hope it's helpful!

Really? The website and the API are fine from the EU. Which is broken?
