I've stopped hosting this site. You can still run it locally (see below).
There are many great visualizations (Mapbox, New York Times, Tableau) around COVID-19. I wanted to contribute a tool that enables people to visualize the impact of COVID-19 at a state-by-state level.
Data is pulled from New York Times Coronavirus (Covid-19) Data in the United States. This data is imported into InfluxDB and visualized in Grafana, both running in Docker on EC2.
Contributions are welcome. Here are some features/improvements:
- Grafana annotations - state reopening, government leader's responses
- Data normalization - there are lots of factors at play (testing, reporting, suspected vs. confirmed cases and deaths)
- Map - NY Times data includes FIPS, which can be used to relate this data to a map, such as the worldmap panel for Grafana
- Auto-update data - NY Times updates every day. Could either add cron to Cloudinit script to pull a few times a day, or use something like Zapier to tell EC2 instance to pull new data
- InfluxDB tuning - this is running on a
t3.smallinstance. Simultaneous queries will sometimes cause OOM. InfluxDB will restart unless explicitly stopped, but some people may see "No data" in the dashboard until they refresh.
