This here is a scientific realtime dashboard which tracks the genomic epidemiology of COVID-19. In a few words, it tracks
the mutation and transmission paths of COVID-19 spreading across the world. You can "play" it to show a video of the transmission paths and spread over time and what countries are most active transmitting it, by date. Here is just a snapshot of what this looks like:
I zoomed in on my part of the world. It was odd, because in Ontario the dot went over Barrie, and there was nothing at all ever showing for Toronto. Yet I know that almost all the cases were in Toronto, and they seemed to have started there. Does that meant the cities themselves are just approximate locations?
Under "Map Options" --> "Geographic resolution", "division' is selected by default. For Canada, the divisions are the provinces, so each province is treated as a unit. So Ontario as a unit, Quebec as a unit, etc. I think Barrie was just a convenient point picked to be in Ontario and not that it was meant to imply Barrie is where the infections are - just an accident of fate when they picked a spot for the dot in the province.
For example, if you look at the "dot" in British Columbia, you'll note that is at some town called Fraser Lake. I doubt Fraser Lake is the secret COVID-19 breakout location in BC!
You can for example trace from whence the infection was brought to Ontario on certain days, etc., and even watch it like a video.
