How does GeoJSON say: one data point, the world. i.e global report #s? Seemingly GeoJSON CRSs can be used to point to both types of locations (country and maybe subdivision code, point):

This belief is supported by the following conversation:

Note how treatment centers is available as geoJSON; clearly that is how to mark this up in JSON.

Points can represent cities and treatment centers. They can have UI label in the properties.

Figure out what the standard properties are used for labels of points s.t. this can be used in the UI.
