coronadatascraper's Introduction

coronadatascraper

A crawler that scrapes COVID-19 Coronavirus data from government and curated data sources.

This project exists to scrape, de-duplicate, and cross-check county-level data on the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Every piece of data includes GeoJSON and population data, cites the source from which the data was obtained, and includes a rating of the source's technical quality (completeness, machine readability, best practices -- not accuracy).
