(Shameless plug alert) I made a simpler version of a COVID-19 dashboard based on the Worldometer data. Currently updated every 30 min. I hope it can be useful to some of you. https://coronavirus.gg/

Nice visualizations. Does Worldometer have an API? What did you use to make the graphs?

Thanks sir, I used react-chartjs (https://github.com/reactjs/react-chartjs). I am scraping/parsing the website every 30 min for now and then storing the result in a NoSQL db and exposing the result as an API for my frontend. Maybe letting others use my API would be helpful (well, you could use it without my consent without much trouble I guess hehe).
