The chart displays cumulative coronavirus death totals over time using a linear scale, emphasizing the raw growth in case numbers without logarithmic transformation. It pulls time-series data from the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 dataset and renders an SVG line path with gridlines, axis labels, and markers. Built with React and D3 v5, it uses `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, and `line` generators, while axes are constructed via `axisBottom` and `axisLeft`. The visualization highlights the steep upward trajectory of deaths, showing the scale’s impact on interpreting pandemic trends.
