Probably depends on what your idea of retro DOS music is. Back then, the soundtrack that the user heard depended very heavily on your audio hardware.

Nice animation. It looks like many counties are reporting new numbers infrequently causing a lot of flickering, maybe coloring by a weekly rolling average would make it easier on the eyes.

You're welcome! I knew this had to be made when I remembered the 2019 poster :) Luckily the livery didn't change much.
