Display changes in daily and average COVID-19 cases for a given country.

Installation

1. Make sure you're using macOS.
2. Install jq from the jq homepage or via homebrew with brew install jq.
3. Install BitBar.
4. Download the plugin and install it using the BitBar instructions.

• Make sure the path to your plugins doesn't contain any single or quotation marks. Ideally, avoid spaces as well.

5. Open the plugin in a text editor and change the COUNTRY to a two- or three-letter country code.
6. Refresh BitBar via its built-in menu. If everything is set up correctly, you should briefly see a … icon, and then the number of new COVID-19 cases today.
