Graph of active cases

[laurentlb]

It would be useful to plot the graph of active cases (confirmed - recovered - death, I assume).

Yes, you are right.. it is a legacy to have the "suspected" ones.

[jakobzhao]

Yes, you are right!

Please see #15 .

I am not sure if it's visually important to also plot it.

Thanks a lot!

I think it's interesting to see it because it reflects the current state. For example, people might wonder if there are there still a lot of active cases in China, or if it's over. Seeing the evolution of that number shows if a country manages to keep things under control (number of active cases is not growing) or if they managed to reverse the trend.

Well, assuming that number of deaths is sufficiently small, the "active" is basically confirmed - recovered, which is a value that can still be directly read from the plot (as if it was stacked plot). But If people here will support the plot, It's a matter of 10 minutes to add it to my pull request.

To visualise the current state of "keeping things under control", I proposed the "growth factor" in #16 .

@airguru thanks for your contribution! It is a very good suggestion. It is just a matter of time to add this function to the current map. I am so busy at the end of the winter quarter.

@jakobzhao I am not sure what do you mean. That's why I did it and you can just comment on or accept the pull request...

Thanks, just added.
