Feature Request: Add toggle for viewing counts vs. per capita rates #3

Do you mean like this: https://observablehq.com/@joewdavies/coronavirus-covid-19-percentage-of-national-population-in? It's a huge limitation that everything in EE apps has to be done server-side using raster layers. The lack of vector visualizations client-side makes it slow to develop with GMap.

Sorry, I used the wrong terminology.

I meant that the app currently shows (count for each admin area) but it would also be useful to be able to visualize (% of the population for each admin area).

Ah, I see. That would be possible, but the input data is frequently in different admin levels (sometimes city, sometimes county, sometimes country). It should be easy to find population for every area listed in the original dataset and add additional column here. ... however, toggling quickly would require caching these in separate raster tiles as well.
