1d45f14615 Update COVID-19 webpage
- Prefer hosting on sandbox.wpcarro.dev; I would prefer to host it at
  sandbox.wpcarro.dev/covid-19, but I haven't figure out how to use Nginx to do
  serve locations like /covid-19 yet.
- Splice the src directory: When I develop locally and index.html exists within
  ./src, I cannot access ./node_modules because ./node_modules is in a parent
  directory. I could fix this if I used a bundler like Parcel or Webpack, but I
  do not want to set that up at this time.
- Introduce Tailwind for CSS. This complicates my build a bit as well. For now,
  I'm including output.css even though ideally I should not version-control this
  file. I haven't figured out how to `yarn install` and run commands like `npx
  tailwindcss build styles.css -o output.css` in a Nix derivation yet. Hopefully
  I will learn and refactor this.
- Add some content about why I made this chart
- Add some content about some of my covid-19 predictions
- Add a footer to the webpage
- Delete timeseries.json and prefer fetching the published data instead

dd9788fa73 Create line chart of UK confirmed corona virus cases
I was having trouble tracking the growth of corona virus cases in the UK.
Thankfully someone is publishing some daily COVID data as JSON. I downloaded
that data manually and plotted it using the chart.js library as a programming
exercise with Mimi.

Now I'm attempting to deploy to https://wpcarro.dev/covid-uk.

TODO(wpcarro): Prefer the live API data instead my soon-to-be-stale downloaded.
