Update covidactnow data daily

[JoviaNierenberg]

Maia commented on the sentences "We base our prevalence calculation on reported cases on Covid Act Now,20 a 10-day period of infectivity,21,22 the CDC’s estimation that 1 in 4.2 cases are reported23, and the state’s population." She said:

• "OK, so is this a point estimate or is it updated on some regular interval? Need to specify--and I think my previous comment about this still holds because if we're planning for an event three months from now, even a strong estimate for today may not hold (which is why scenario analyses can be helpful)"

We plan to use a Heroku script to pull the Covid Act Now data.

Shagun says: "Next I have the script for updating covidactnow data daily - however I havent had time to look at how heroku scheduler works. If @Saahil has time to look at this it would be great & I can pass on the script - we only need it to run once every 24 hours - anytime after noon EST."

Data auto update file added. Need to add the heroku config variable (setup by Jovia) to the code and setup heroku scheduler to run script daily.
