so people could make their own charts, but it takes a lot of extra work to make something easy to use by the general public. If this kind of thing is not really available, I would perhaps do the extra work.

I get the raw data from

https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19.git

which is the Johns Hopkins CSSE data repository. I find it matches very well the data you see on https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ (maybe they are the same data source).

The problem with these charts is that with too many states or countries, it becomes a muddled mess, which is why I put only a few on the chart above. If you have a suggestion for a per-state chart, with some selected states, I am happy to post it.
