Normalization of 2D-density / contours #54

Currently the density is based on counts of positive cases. However that doesn't take into account population density and testing frequency. The user needs the option to normalize the density based these kind of data.

I think the user can pick what fields to normalize by, and then each case gets weighted by that field. So a patient isn't counted as 1 anymore, but maybe 0.5 because they are in a census tract with a high population or because there's a lot of tests performed around them.
