Too Long; Didn't Read

In this article, we'll go through scraping a Wikipedia table with COVID-19 data using Puppeteer and Node.io. The original article that I used for this project is located here. After scraping the data, I created an HTML file and displayed the data using Google charts. The project was created by front-end developer and owner of a nonprofit called STEM Effect. The code is very hacky, but at the end of the day, I just wanted an easier way to consume the data that I had just mined for.
