The "Things aren't looking too hot today." remark under the title of the page is currently hardcoded, and should change depending on daily statistics for active cases.

Really bad (>~+5% cases): Oh no.
Fairly bad (>~+3% cases): Things aren't looking too hot today.
Normal (>~+1% cases): Not bad, I guess?
Somewhat good (>~-1% cases): Hey, we're getting somewhere!
Fairly good (>~-3% cases): Looking good!
Really good (>~-5% cases): IT'S GOING DOWN!

The page should have a small GitHub icon near the top right (same level as page title) that links back to this repository.

Right now, each API feeding information to this project is called on each page refresh. Ideally, the information would be cached for the next hour after a request and only refreshed when needed.

For some reason, the values of "Cases per 1M" return 0 for all countries. This is most likely because the country's population is not fetched, causing it to return values of either 0 or Infinity behind the scenes, which both show up as 0 on the front end.

This is hardcoded here:

Note: this project pulls sorttable.js, which can be used for sorting tables. The sort call on line 83 does not seem to work.
