SANKEY Diagram for Spread of COVID-19
This Sankey diagram visualizes the early spread of COVID-19 between countries, using node and link thickness to represent the relative volume of transmission. The diagram shows China as the primary source, with flows to Japan, the UK, and other nations, which then propagate to secondary destinations. The visualization is built with D3.js v5, using a custom `d3.sankey` layout algorithm to position nodes and draw curved links as SVG paths. Node rectangles are draggable, and hovering over a link reveals a tooltip with the source, target, and value. Data is loaded from a JSON file containing named nodes and weighted links.
