Analysis

The Excel spreadsheet was the start of my local COVID-19 analysis. I used it to design the charts. Pros: Excel can make some nice charts. Cons: Updating all of the visualization products by hand twice a day sucks.

Because of that, I'm moving the analysis to Google Data Studio. That work is in progress. The Excel spreadsheet will soon be obsolete.

Scraper

The data folder contains the code for the data engineering for getting the data into Google Sheets so that it's available to Google Data Studio. And soon also transformation code for appending analysis data, like smoothed doubling times or an estimation of R₀.

Web site

The site folder contains the code for https://BeachAnalytics.info. It's a Jekyll site, intended for hosting on GitHub Pages. The output goes to the docs folder, and GitHub Pages publishes that folder in the master branch to the web site.

To build:

bundle exec jekyll build --trace --lsi

Development:

bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --lsi --incremental  --host 0.0.0.0
