A: Corresponding author Rex W. Douglass (PhD) @RexDouglass
Q:Where?
A: The Machine Learning for Social Science Lab, Center for Peace and Security Studies, University of California San Diego
Q:Why?
A: We don't know the answers to two important questions:
-
How government interventions changes the rate of growth in COVID19 spread within a community
-
What determines when governments will implement some interventions rather than others
Q: How?
A: The data and code are released under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike

Q: What?
The data are location, restriction, date tripplies submitted by volenteers. Each has a source URL submitted through the Google Form survey.
The schema/codebook for the data is taken directly from the Google Form, which changes slightly to fix spellings, add options, or respond to coder feedback.
A stable latest version of the data is made available for consumption as a tsv file here
Efforts will be made to maintain the relationship between letter scores and original answers. Any drastic changes will be forked as a new 1.? version number.
Q: I found an error!
A: Open an issue ticket with the specific location, date, and coding that you find in error and what you think it should be. We'll review the originally submitted report and make the change if needed.
We also aggregate over reports so if you find a source that says different, please submit it and we'll estimate a closer answer.
