Covid Deaths Visualizer

People often forget that the COVID death numbers on TV or on social media are actual humans. I hope to humanize these statistics to emphasize the importance of slowing the spread.

What it does:

drops circles representing each time a human dies from COVID-19 in "real time" (a day late but incrementing at the average time per death of the previous day). It also displays statistics such as total COVID deaths, average time per death, and websites to get more educated about the virus.

Challenges I ran into:

couldn't understand how to render matter.js, so I used p5.js to draw the objects with matter.js to calculate coordinates.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of:

I learned some p5 and matter.js, how to use libraries with node, I used a class for real, kinda understood async functions, this is the first website with javascript that I made, there's probably more but I can't think of any right now

What's next for Covid Deaths Visualizer

Make it actually update in real time, maybe make it look prettier, have more statistics and links to useful websites
