Data Source(s)

DATA hub

Data is in CSV format and updated daily. It is sourced from this upstream repository maintained by the amazing team at Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) who have been doing a great public service from an early point by collating data from around the world.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) time series listing confirmed cases, reported deaths and reported recoveries. Data is disaggregated by country (and sometimes subregion). Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by the Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has had a worldwide effect. On March 11 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a pandemic, pointing to the over 118,000 cases of the coronavirus illness in over 110 countries and territories around the world at the time.

Toolset

This project will be managed in R. I’d like to explore using leaflet for the first time and will also be exploring R libraries for handling geospatial data like plotly, maptools, highcharter, crosstalk, and flexdashboard

I hope to animate the map to plot time using the gganimate with tweenr.

Project Delivery

Currently planning to use Shiny web app.
