A scatterplot animates the daily progression of COVID-19 cases across Hubei, China, with each circle representing a region’s cumulative confirmed cases versus new cases on a log scale. The visualization uses d3.v6 with SVG and transitions to move points between dates, while a legend identifies regions. Data comes from a CSV file tracking metrics like confirmed, cured, and dead counts. Axes, labels, and a date display update over time, driven by the `renderupdate` function and D3’s transition API.
