Objective: Calculate the timeframe needed to reach a Herd Inmunity Threshold (HIT) based solely on vaccination against COVID-19 in each county in Florida.
Data Source: CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Dashboard updated daily at 2000 EST
Methodology:
- Automatically scrape the CDC data to obtain the latest vaccinations per age group (Over 18 and Over 65) and total vaccinations
- Move scrape data into a SQL database for storage
- Extract values for computation including: - Number of new vaccinations - Total number of vaccinations per age group
- Calculate vaccination rates per county based on the previous 7-days
- Calculate number of days needed to reach the HIT
- Save new daily data into dataframes and sql database
- Convert data into json files for manipulation and calculations for html publication
- Create an appropriate easy-to-read dashboard to drive the message
Challenges:
- Automating the scrapping
- Manipulating the data from csv to json files for ease of publication
- css styling of the dashboard using bootstrap
