Visualizing Coronavirus Cases and Deaths by Country and US County #etc#coronavirus#shapefile#h5v Videos showing the spread of confirmed COVID-19 cases and death by country and US county/state per capita from 2020 to 2023.

Cases and Deaths by Country
Week on Week Incremental
Cumulative
Cases and Deaths by US County
Week on Week Incremental
Cumulative
This post visualizes global and US county level coronavirus data from
Johns Hopkins University. Four videos show both cumulative and week on week
progression (comparing seven day moving averages) of the disease together with four images that show the most recent snapshot. It used to be updated weekly, this stopped August 5, 2023.
Cases and deaths are shown simultaneously using blue for cases and red for deaths.
Where both are high a region will be a shade of purple. Regions with no data are dark gray.
The week on week incremental visualization is useful to see the history and current state of the spread of coronavirus.
Each region is shaded based on the highest number of daily cases and deaths for that region and is relative to population. For example if the highest
number of deaths reported on any day in San Francisco county is seven, then any day that has seven deaths will be the
brightest shade of red. This shows where COVID-19 is relatively bad over time.
The cumulative visualization is shaded relative to the highest total death and case count for any region, relative to population.
As the location and date of the peak in week on week and cumulative cases and deaths change over time the videos will be
different each time you watch. Bookmark this post and check back for weekly updates.
(This is the fifth version of this post as I have changed the data source and methodology several times.
I usually preserve the previous version of any post but the changes are large enough that in this case I have removed them).

Do you want me to use Edge, Microsoft? #marketing#microsoft#edge Please help me, I'm having a really hard time understanding if Microsoft wants me to switch to their Edge browser or not.

If you're going to ask for something be direct, don't beat around the bush.
So I'm confused, Microsoft. Do you want me to use Edge? After installing updates Edge wants to 'Get started', on a nice modal with no cancel button or even any little x to close it. Must be some mistake right, not quite ready for prime time if they forgot the 'Don't get started' button. Maybe I'll try it when the kinks are worked out.
Ah, right clicking the icon and choosing close would work, right? Nope. Feels more and more like malware.
You can kill it from task manager so at least someone was paying some attention to usability.
Don't I remember some settlement with the DOJ after an antitrust judgement for forcing browsers on someone? That was a while back, must be remembering a different company.

I've been trying to put my finger on why Scot Harvath is only OK and I think it's because he's so awesome that he never really suffers from any setbacks. Everything kind of clicks into place for him and he always remembered to bring the right tactical dodad for the job. Nearly there...
Bone Silence (Revenger, #3) by Alastair Reynolds
4/5
The Revenger series comes to a close and my only regret is reading the books when published - with a sizable gap in between it can be a challenge to come back up to speed. It's a thrilling swashbuckling ride and wraps up the mystery of the quoins and the occupations. I hope he comes back to this universe at some point.
Unusually good night sky conditions in San Francisco recently. Here's a video of several timelapses shot over the last couple of months. The sequences are: (super) moonrise, no Lyrids over Sutro Tower, Ursa Major rotating around Polaris, Orion setting, moonset.
The timezone database has been updated to 2020a. There is also a small fix to a problem with screensaver installation on recent versions of Windows 10.
