This bar chart visualizes confirmed COVID-19 cases by country and region from the Novel Corona Virus 2019 dataset on Kaggle. It shows the total confirmed count for each location using horizontal bars, with country names on the y-axis and case numbers on the x-axis. The visualization is rendered as an SVG using D3 v5, leveraging `d3.csv`, `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to map the data. The chart displays only the first two dates from the dataset, as the code parses observation dates without filtering.
