Automatic country selection based on geolocation about covid-charts HOT 3 CLOSED

I think it would be nice to make one line based on the geolocation (should still fallback to something) and the other based on worldwide data, so that you can see how well your country is doing in relation to the global situation.

Unfortunately, I struggled a lot trying to find an API to supply the worldwide data. The best I found was this https://corona.lmao.ninja/v2/historical/all and it only goes a month back.

PS: This will require a backend.

I'm actually considering that I'd create static data and host it in this repo, and have GitHub Actions update it every day. That way the app would be a lot faster, and we wouldn't have to worry about rate limiting etc.
