Update: The Times' Sam Joiner just cleared England COVID map for London crowding using ridge map animation]
Local dashboards updated daily from Public Heath England data are bolstered by other open data: As coronavirus affects most notably the eldest and youngest, Office for National Statistics age distribution is a welcome addition to case distribution maps. A static web map showed cases and age distribution side-by-side - a story map has the full back story on its derivation - Kenneth Field's "coxcombs" post static time-series that helped identify here vulnerable groups of elder and younger populations, and to overlay them atop progressive case numbers over a set time period.
As both storymaps above will show - I filtered greater London due to over-crowded symbology - perhaps animation may help clear it up?

The Open COVID-19 Data Curation Group also posted anonymised date-of-confirmation and country-of-provenance for individuals globally in HealthMap.>> a set downloaded from Github on 04/04/2020 provides data for 31/01-26/03/2020
>> pivot-tables turned these into time-series data by County / Unitary Authority as above
>> parsing symbol attributes into dates allowed to animated the coxcomb fans over time
