For those who want something a little more mobile-friendly, we just built a similar map over the weekend: https://coronavirus.app/

Completely offtopic: I'm really impressed that I can get the basic mapping with all javascript turned off. Kudos for that. Half the pages you visit these days can't even show text or pictures without js.
Thanks! With this app, we just wanted to build something really basic that does its job with as little friction as possible, so glad you pointed that out.
Um.. I had to enable scripts from jsdelivr.net to get past a blank screen?
Yep, seems you are correct, noscript shows it being blocked but I had the 3rd party scripts from https://cdn.jsdelivr.com/ whitelisted. Thought it might have simply been a splash page.
U.S. map looks off. The case you have near Washington D.C. should be in Snohomish county, Washington. You should have two cases in CA, one in Orange county and the other in Los Angeles county, not in San Joaquin.
It seems both maps have same issue re: CA infections, which suggests that there might be bad data.

I died laughing at this! It of course is very serious and not funny, but I still laughed at this detail.

Why Infected and Cured markers don't follow the colors of the legend?
Well, they do on all the devices we've tested the app on. What device/browser are you using?
Firefox latest on Win7. Turning off adblocking didn't help.
Likewise on Firefox on Ubuntu. It looks like the map is fully desaturated, the green is a light grey and the red is a dark grey.
