covid19/frustration with maps

A lot of the maps I see showing coronavirus cases, even from sources like the CDC, have a problem: They’re labeled by country, or by state. Labeling the # of cases reported in the US doesn’t tell you that they’re mostly in clusters in Washington & California. Labeling the # of cases in CA doesn’t tell you that they’re mostly in northern CA.

What matters for tracking its spread is actual location & transportation links, not jurisdiction.
