This choropleth map visualizes the global distribution of COVID-19 cases using a red and green color scheme, with each country’s fill color indicating the presence of cases on a specific date. The map is rendered with SVG using D3’s `geoNaturalEarth1` projection and `geoPath` for geographic outlines, while `zoom` enables interactive panning. Data is loaded from a CSV file and merged with TopoJSON world geometry via `loadAndProcessData`, and a custom `colorLegend` component displays the categorical scale.
