Active cases graph #151

It would be nice to have active cases graph. I have tried to implement it by substracting Recovered and Deaths but my javascript skills are a little bit rusty and I do not know vue and plotly.

You mean to have: X axis: Active Cases Y axis: New Confirmed Cases (in the past two weeks)

I also think that this would be interesting information, as more time passes more and more people recover (luckily). If the currently infected people are few, and there is a bigger spike of new confirmed cases, de current graph will not change that much, but one with active cases would. Also because the active cases are going down with time. Each country would travel back the diagonal to the left down corner. And it would also show "how big" the infection currently is in a given country.

I second this. I´ve been doing it ina a spreadsheet with data from worldmeters.info, and it really shows some more insight.
