This website was created out of my personal desire to track the virus progress in the places that I and my loved ones live. I love data and I think that the progression of the virus spread in the countries that it started earlier can tell us how it will progress in the ones to follow. So far, even though I am just collecting the data and produce graphs, it has been very useful to me to follow and anticipate things.

Sources

Method

The charts are created by collecting and processing data form the following sources:

This was put together with little planning. It started with a Java tool parses the various sources files and normalises them into a uniform text database. Then a JSON serialiser builds the files that are fed to the charts. The tools used are:

Apache commons CSV tools

Gson

Chartsjs

Bootstrat

jQuery

Updates

Updates are uploaded around midnight, London time. Depending on time availability, they may be uploaded extra times in the day.

Future

There are a few things planned that would make this useful. Some of those are:

Make the charts user defined so that users can add their own.

Add a datapoint with the interventions (school closures, curfew etc).

Add dates instead of numerals in the x axis

Apply a decent UI template such as Dashboard v3 etc

I am tidying up the source code and aiming to open the source for contributions.
