Percent of population #40

Closed JWinawer closed 4 years ago

JWinawer commented 4 years ago

First, thanks for making this great tool available.

and now for a question: when I plot percents of population (e.g. confirmed cases in NY), I get values that are greater than 100% (e.g,. 400). Is there an issue with the units? Perhaps it’s the number per million rather than percent?

Thanks! Jon

@JWinawer yes it is (value / (population / 100000) )

just made this change yesterday. i'll update the y axis label to explain it:

without this change, the values were very small, like 0.000001% and it just made yaxis hard to see
