This visualization shows COVID-19 death trends across U.S. states over time, with a line chart revealing that most states remain below 5,000 deaths, while Florida, California, and Texas spike dramatically during summer. The chart encodes date on the x-axis, deaths on the y-axis, and state as color, with tooltips displaying cases. Built with vega-lite-api and d3.csv, it fetches data from a GitHub gist and renders using Vega-Lite’s markLine with monotone interpolation. Custom axis and label styling improve readability, and the visualization automatically fits the window size.
