COVID19 risk planner R-Shiny application is an R-Shiny application that requires R 3.4+, shinyserver, and several R packages. Optionally, you can deploy behind a webserver (Apache or NGINX) to act as the reverse proxy and handle SSL termination.

We update the current data for the application every hour (with a random delay between 0-700 seconds) and the daily data every 4 hours. While we could load the data live from the API, we want the application to be functional and responsive even if the API is down/slow and it ensures we're not hammering the API if we get a spike of users. The real time daily data doesn't change often enough for this to introduce major delays in reporting.
