This was a project born out of wanting to just write some code as more cases of COVID-19 started popping up throughout the United States.
This uses the same CSV data files in the Johns Hopkins CSSE GitHub Repository. This is a side project I just wanted to write to tinker with data, I am in NO WAY affiliated with any health organization or Johns Hopkins!
Installing the module.
# Install module.
Install-Module -Name PSCOVID-19 -Scope CurrentUserAs of now the module only has limited functionality.
If you want to get all of the data to manipulate it yourself. Use Get-COVID19Data, it will return a list of [Covid] objects that you can manipulate with built-in PowerShell Cmdlets.
# Gather the latest data
$covidData = Get-COVID19Data
# Filter the data to get all US cases and measure the total amount of confirmed cases across all of the data
$covidData | Where-Object {$_.CountryOrRegion -eq 'US'} | Measure-Object -Property Confirmed -Sum
# For you other New Englanders, Get all the New England states, sort by 'confirmed' cases and then format it out as a table
$covidData | Where-Object {$_.CountryOrRegion -eq 'US'} | Where-Object {
$_.ProvinceOrState -eq 'Massachusetts' -or
$_.ProvinceOrState -eq 'Rhode Island' -or
$_.ProvinceOrState -eq 'Connecticut' -or
$_.ProvinceOrState -eq 'New Hampshire' -or
$_.ProvinceOrState -eq 'Vermont' -or
$_.ProvinceOrState -eq 'Maine'
} | Sort-Object -Property Confirmed -Descending | Format-Table -AutoSize
# Get data for Italy
$covidData | Where-Object {$_.CountryOrRegion -eq 'Italy'} | Format-Table -AutoSize
# Use Measure-Object to get stats for a given area
$covidData | Where-Object {$_.ProvinceOrState -eq 'New York'} | Measure-Object -Property Confirmed -AllStatsAs the data only tends to update once daily this originally was a tracker in pre 2.* versions. Now Format-Covid19Table simply prints the data with a pretty table that has colors!
# Get all United States cases
Format-Covid19Table -CountryOrRegion US
# Get all the cases for a specific state
Format-Covid19Table -CountryOrRegion US -ProvinceOrState 'Massachusetts'Below is an image of the output using the US and Massachusetts as an example.
