This example visualizes the total number of COVID-19 cases reported in Asian countries, displaying the top 15 countries as a horizontal bar chart with a logarithmic-like linear scale. The visualization uses React and D3 v5, with D3’s `scaleBand` and `scaleLinear` for axes and bar positioning, and `csv` to load data from a GitHub-hosted CSV file. Bars are rendered as SVG `<rect>` elements within a React component, with axis ticks generated via D3’s `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` methods. The chart reads case counts in millions from United Nations World Population Prospects 2019 data.
