You can see the original data visualizations in context:
There is also a really interesting interview with John Burn-Murdoch of the FT about the design choices made when designing the coronavirus tracker.
If you want to learn about high-quality data visualization more generally, I'd recommend checking out the work of Stephanie Evergreen or Ann Emery. They both offer materials to help you learn the principles of high-quality data visualization.
If you want books on data viz, I recommend:
Kieran Healy's Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction (this book includes R code throughout)
Claus Wilke's Fundamentals of Data Visualization (though the book doesn't have R code, all of the figures were made with ggplot)
On the idea of small tweaks to make your data viz sparkle, you might find the "little of visualization" series by Andy Kirk interesting.
