Split out ingestion scripts into covid19-ingestion #2713

Closed abhidg closed 2 years ago

abhidg commented 2 years ago

Currently globaldothealth/list contains covid-19 ingestion scripts. With #2712, we'll no longer be catering to only one disease, so it makes sense to move ingestion scripts into separate repo, one for each for disease/pathogen.

This is related to https://github.com/globaldothealth/monkeypox/issues/21, insofar as we need one generic script for any new disease.

abhidg commented 2 years ago

We'll need multiple scripts in general as government sources will not follow our schema.

An alternative to consider: move covid-19 ingestion scripts to ingestion/functions/covid-19, and add a new folder ingestion/functions/monkeypox or whatever.

Benefits:

Drawbacks:

Not a priority right now, will re-open when we are setting up new turnkey system.
