russss / covidtracker Goto Github PK

Thanks for the best tool that I know to visualize UK Covid data.

At the moment it is being widely asserted that the rising cases is associated more with the younger part of the population than the older. If possible, it would be useful if this tool can also show information related to the ages of people with covid infections so we could see how the spread is changing with respect to age as well as geography.

No data showing for me at https://russss.github.io/covidtracker/map.html right now

The source data for lineages now has an entry that's a list

"XA": ["B.1.1.7","B.1.177"]

and that throws off the generating script.

It's basically as that array becomes a field value at

Reading the code, it's not entirely obvious to me how lineage accounting would work in this case, hence not submitting a PR for this. Any thoughts?

For people stumbling on the data, think this could be more user friendly to include the code names for the variants of concern in the key; so "B.1.1" becomes "B.1.1 (inc. Omicron)" until B.1.1.529 triggers the greater than 15% for a week trigger.

Perhaps where a variant becomes dominant in it's own right could show as "B.1.1.529 (Omicron & variants) or "something"

Is it possible to add a method to show the change over time with some buttons?
As in you can cycle forward and back for daily changes, a bit like you would with a weather map and see the colours change.

Would be really handy to be able to see how areas evolve over time, maybe for a rolling month or two period

Example design
https://www.netweather.tv/charts-and-data/gfs

The change shading is chosen by absolute number, so -52 is dark green for example, even when the change is 1100 to 1049.

It feels the shading should be chosen by % change instead to prevent a false picture

Or else % change and absolute change as separate selections.

Great tool, thanks

Has the data stopped updating automatically? Front page charts have all stopped at 31 Jul. Also the new PHE dashboard was launched to production today.

Thanks again for a great visualization tool. After the last update I am missing the nice graph of case rates Vs vaccination rates that used to be on the vaccination tab. I always liked this because the “tails” showing the history were great for visualizing the trends. It was also rather curious because generally the trend sloped the “wrong” way (higher vaccination trends to higher reported rates) so I wanted to keep an eye on how that evolved. Any chance it could be restored?

Will you be adding a “booster” graph to the vaccination page?

Rates are now over 2000 in Lambeth and elsewhere, so scales need adjusting again....

The scales on both the first two maps (incidence rate and change) need adjusting for omicron, currently the whole map is a sea pretty much all the same colour anywhere where omicron is prevalent

Thanks for this great resource!
