Today we have added a new chart visualizer to the country pages on Newsnodes. This new chart visualizer has three main features:

1. Display charts in fullscreen size
2. Custom range charts, by entering a number of days the chart has to show
3. Option to cut outliers: sometimes 1 or 2 outliers can make all other data unreadable. By checking the 'cut outliers' box, the outliers will be cut off, making other data readable again!

Some exciting news today, as from now on, Newsnodes and BNO News will be working together to cover the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. For many months, the COVID Tracking Project was an excellent source for the latest figures per state, but the project stopped updating exactly 4 weeks ago.

To fill the void, BNO News and Newsnodes are now tracking all US states and territories on cases, deaths, testing and hospitalizations. You can find all data, maps and charts by visiting our USA COVID-19 monitor page.

Tonight we have added two new COVID-19 world maps to our website. The new maps are meant as a quick indicator to show the strength of a COVID-19 outbreak by relating the recently reported cases and deaths in a country to its population size. The new maps can be found at our world monitor maps page.

Starting today, we are publishing so called choropleth maps which will enable you to quickly see in which countries Coronavirus is currently uptrending or downtrending. When you hover over a country, it will show the current week-over-week trend. You can find these maps on a new page called world monitor maps. We are planning to add more maps over the next days.

Today we have started integrating news stories to our website. The links to news stories will appear on each country page and the news stories are not only on coronavirus, but also other general news is included. By simply visiting a country page, it's now easy to see the latest global headlines for any country in the world.
