Novel Coronavirus 2019

[nirabpudasaini]

The new strain of Coronovirus has had a worldwide effect. It has effected people from different countries. It would be great, for example, to have a tidy time series data tracking the number of people effected by the virus, how many deaths has the virus caused and the number of reported people who have recovered.

Research

• Peter Corless has a very informative blog on coronavirus data.
• The most clean and useful data he links to in the blog is from Johns Hopkins CSSE
  • The data is compiled from various sources and updated daily in a github repo.
  • There is also a map visualization published using the data.
  • The terms of use however states that the data " is provided to the public strictly for educational and academic research purposes".
  • For some reason they are adding each new observation into a column of the csv instead of the row.
