The page opens (albeit slowly, so we have to do some tuning), with four USA maps of all 3142 counties on the right half of the screen. For any time interval selected, from one day to the past four months, the upper left map is of Confirmed Cases, the upper right map is of Deaths, and the lower two are of the same per capita.
We have some tuning to do on the color breakpoints, but this gives you a good idea of the very different perspectives that each of these views affords.
On the left side is a table of all states, viewable via the slider since only about fifteen are shown at a given time. There are four columns there, each one corresponding to one of the maps. And clicking on each column stacks the rank order of states for each attribute. Here are the same four in order:
Note, for example, that California ranks 5th in Confirmed Cases, and 8th in Deaths, but does not appear in the top 16 for either per capita table. It is 32nd for Cases per capita, and 30th for D/PC
What is more fun, is the table at the far right allows selection of any state, and in fact any county or combinations of either or both. That gives some fascinating additional understanding. Here, for example, are four maps of California at the county level, followed by a comparison of CA and Texas
You can, for example, rank ski resort outbreaks, or meat packing locales, or anything that can be represented on a geo-spatial map, along with the data that corresponds.

I would like to acknowledge the help of Anywhere Anytime, LLC without whose support and their interactive Dashboard technology, this could not have been accomplished. This dashboard, created from conception to posting on May 7, 2020, took a total of 14 days.
I think you might find it intriguing.
And please, let me know of errata, etc.
Best regards
