Consider capturing or detecting localized outbreaks & hotspots #103

Closed krivard closed 3 years ago

krivard commented 4 years ago

From Roni:

If a county of 50,000 people has 150 confirmed cases in the span of a few days, it could be due to rapid spread of the virus in the population, or due to a localized outbreaks (Long-term-care facilities, prisons, slaughterhouses). Epidemiologically these are very different events. Localized outbreaks are responsible for >40% of confirmed cases! Localized outbreaks are now published, together with their county location. We should grab that information and use it, both in viz and in modeling.

This is rapidly turning into a duplicate of #152, unless we find an external source
