Covid Cases against Deaths per Country (March, 2022)

Navigate through the Bubble Chart, which plots Total Cases per Million against Total Deaths per Million. providing a bidimensional perspective on the pandemics impact. The size of each bubble represents the population of the country, thus offering a three-dimensional view of case, death, and population scale. Engage with the chart interactively, using the search input to highlight specific countries and adjusting the minimum population slider to focus on countries above a certain population size. Explore individual country data by hovering over each bubble. From this graph, a relatively strong positive correlation can be viewed, indicating countries with higher Cases have higher deaths.
