Corona-chan Tracker

This script displays covid-19 data formatted for statusbars and/or panels. So far tried and tested in mate-panel, polybar and wibar (awesomewm), it should work in other desktop enviorements and perhaps in bitbar for mac.

Install

git clone https://github.com/eylles/corona-chan-tracker
cd corona-chan-tracker
