The data can be downloaded and cleaned up into usable data, but it will take some work (finding the right stuff to keep vs right stuff to throw away). I'm thinking daily ~worldwide would be the coolest but it will take some semi-significant cleaning work.

Try to do it and blog about it before Christmas 2023!
