Japan Data #571

Closed eguidotti closed 4 years ago

eguidotti commented 4 years ago

Hello and congrats for your work! I followed your presentation at the CovidR contest, where I presented the COVID-19 Data Hub. Our project misses the data for Japan and I would love if you could join us and improve our project with your data: https://github.com/covid19datahub/COVID19/

Of course, feel free to close the issue if not interesting for you. All the best, -- Emanuele

Hi, Emanuele, Congrats for your project Data Hub to be the winner! It's okay for me to add Japan data into your project, but I'm still have lots of work to do, so the progress may be slow. Could you provide my a sample PR for me to know how to add my dataset into your project? Thanks!

eguidotti commented 4 years ago

Great to hear that! Yes sure, you can find here a quick tutorial to add new data: https://github.com/covid19datahub/COVID19/wiki/Add-a-new-data-source Just let me know if you need something else or have any question. Thanks!

@emanuele-guidotti Thank you! I will try it later.

I'm also wondering how to integrate the Japanese data into the COVID-19 Data Hub to make it easier to access. I think the first thing to do is to put the daily confirmed cases, deaths, recovered cases of every prefecture into one single csv file.

@swsoyee I'm pleased to join you for working on this issue.

@yuanzhouIR Thank you, Zhou! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to process the data. It would be great if you could help with the issue. The description of the entire dataset can be tedious, so it may be convenient to have one discussion in zoom (or wechat) if that is convenient.

Thank you @swsoyee and @yuanzhouIR, let me know in case you need some help on the COVID-19 Data Hub side

Hi Emanuele, @swsoyee and I are working on the Japan data. In the COVID-19 data released by the Japanese government, vent and icu are not distinguished. There is a variable called severe, which is defined as either requiring ventilation or intensive therapy. So I'm wondering how to deal with the vent and icu variables.

eguidotti commented 4 years ago

Hi, you can put severe cases in a new column named severe and I will add it to the dataset with the corresponding documentation

eguidotti commented 4 years ago

Hello @yuanzhouIR and @swsoyee, I have a doubt about the severe cases. As said, it should be icu + vent correct? On the other hand, I noticed from all other countries worldwide that vent is a subset of patients in intensive therapy (icu) that also require ventilation. So it seems to me that vent + icu would count vent twice. Could you please double check the definition of severe cases for Japan? Maybe it is equivalent to icu only?

From the Data Hub documentation:

Many thanks to both of you for your great work!

From the Data Hub documentation:

  • icu: Number of hospitalized patients in ICUs on date.
  • vent: Number of patients requiring invasive ventilation on date.

Many thanks to both of you for your great work!

Hi @eguidotti , on and before 7 May, severe (critically ill) means cases putting on a ventilator or treated in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Since the number is a total of reports from prefectures after that, the definition may vary by prefecture.

As you said, patiennts on ventilator should be also in ICU. However, the Japanese government does not differentiate icu and vent. They only release the number of severe cases. If we consider all severe cases should be in ICU but not sure if they are on ventilator, we can treat severe equivalent to icu.

Hi @yuanzhouIR, thank you for your message. This is really helpful. I removed the severe cases and treated as icu in the data hub. Many thanks!
