It looks really nice. Unfortunately it turns out the main feature, the data, is phony.

When the hospitals feel like it, they test patients that are already in the hospital for something else if they have COVID. And when they don’t feel like it, they don’t. Any patient found to have COVID, is added to the graph. So these numbers, and also derived numbers such as the R value, are statistically useless and vulnerable to manipulation.
