Live Coronavirus (COVID-19) victims status display with ESP8266 and MAX7219 LED matrix module. This video is not monetized. Sorry if you think that video title is inappropriate.

Parts:
- ESP8266
- MAX7219 4x 8x8 LED matrix module
- USB cable

All data is read from the map updated every few minutes thanks to   / covidmapping   team of volunteers

The map:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie...

There are some examples for other countries provided, look at the code for more information.
For this project I used newest Arduino 1.8.12 and ESP8266 board package 2.6.3.
WiFiClient with TLS support (instead of default SSL) is required. The easiest way is to modify WifiClientSecure.h header, there should be only 2 lines there:
#include "WiFiClientSecureAxTLS.h"
using namespace axTLS;
The buffer for HTML is not properly/securely handled, so in case of problems change BUF_LEN value and observe logs.
I can't guarantee it data collection will work all the time, if map data format changes, some modifications will be necessary.
