Case data is becoming less and less useful as an indicator.

This should prompt changes in the UI. Right now, estimated cases is very prominently placed. I think this is no longer warranted.

It may still be useful for certain countries in certain situations, and is definitely useful for historical investigations. But moving forward it would be good to relegate it to a less prominent position. Maybe it could be hidden by default.

The upside is: this gives us valuable UI real estate. Any thoughts what could go there instead? One could just push some of the things that are below the fold up. But maybe there's something else?

"Estimated cases" is not the only feature that is rarely used. "Relative growth advantage: three mechanisms", "Reproduction number", and especially "Age demographics" are also rarely used; all of those may be fold up. And "Insertions" are less interesting than "Substitutions and deletions", and may be placed behind "Substitutions and deletions".
Are there any statistics for the use of every feature of CoV-Spectrum website?
