Don't want to bring the topic per se to FoC, but we may say that the lack of tools may increase the effect of crisis like this one, I'm impressed (in the wrong way) by the fact that one of the most important newspapers of Germany, with maybe the news of the decade going for weeks already is only able to provide these visualizations: https://www.zeit.de/wissen/gesundheit/2020-03/coronavirus-deutschland-infektionen-faelle-verbreitung-epidemie-karte

In France there is an effort to coordinate volunteer efforts for making the data more accessible: https://bzg.fr/covid19-developpeurs-datascientistes-comment-aider/ Maybe some people in this group could use this to show off their developments!
