The story I discuss is March 8's 'Coronavirus map: Tracking cases in the U.S. and around the world - The Washington Post' (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/01/22/mapping-spread-new-coronavirus/), by Washington Post Staff. It's about the hot topic of the past month and a half, especially since CoronaVirus Covid-19 entered the USA in January 30 and the first death there, in February 29.
Interestingly, these facts are not a part of this article!
The story does provide visuals of the cases and deaths in a table and geo charts with markers (cases only) with very basic interactivity for the USA, worldwide and China.
There is also a static line chart for Confirmed Cases in China and the resto fo the world and a comparison tableamong other outbrakes, including SARS and Ebola, detailing Transmission Type, Vaccine Availability and numbers of Cases and Deaths.
While the visuals are clear and comprehensive, I would expect the article to include a timeline of the initial cases and their origins for each State, the line chart to be interactive and include the USA separately and the USA map to include interactivity that would allow the viewer to visualize the full day-to-day development (this would take no additional space).
Thankfully, the story does provide its ddata sources and additional relevant reading resources.
