In this project I use R Markdown and Plotly to create a bar chart of the COVID-19 outbreak using April 18th, 2020 data. Data was taken from the 2019 Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) Data Repository by Johns Hopkins CSSE GitHub. I will only examine the death toll among states within the United States.

Project Prompt: Create a web page presentation using R Markdown that features a plot created with Plotly. Host your webpage on either GitHub Pages, RPubs, or NeoCities. Your webpage must contain the date that you created the document, and it must contain a plot created with Plotly.
