A static scatter plot visualizes COVID-19 active cases per country, with each country as a colored circle on a categorical x-axis and a linear y-axis scaled by active case counts. The chart, built with D3.js v7, renders as SVG and loads data from a remote CSV file. Circles enlarge and display a country-specific tooltip on mouseover, while a legend lists all countries. The visualization uses `d3.scaleBand`, `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.axisBottom`, `d3.axisLeft`, and `d3.scaleOrdinal` with `d3.schemeCategory10` for colors.
