Support for Lat, Long, and Province/State

[rlindskog]

Hey, great project! It's nice having a cached JSON representation of CSSEGISandData/COVID on github!

What do you think about adding lat / long attributes? Also province/states (maybe in a separate JSON file)?

I can help if it is something you're interested in.

[pomber]

Yes! do you want to send a PR changing the action to also create/update a timeline-by-region.json or something similar?

There's also countries.json with some info about each country, feel free to add more info to it.

I added provincial breakdown here: https://github.com/titaniumbones/covid19 . I don't understand github actions, therefore can't test them, and wanted to get this up ASAP so I just copied actions.js to manual.js and made a few changes there. extracted some logic into named functions. More than happy to make a PR but I won't be able to test till I have a chance to learn about actions (maybe tonight but maybe not.

(I also added the CSSE repo as a submodule, which makes it easy to update w/ a shell script.)

[pomber]

Awesome @titaniumbones.

I'm not sure if you can test the action locally (I don't have too much experience with actions either)

But you could change action.js and test it in your repo in every pull by changing

covid19/.github/workflows/main.yml

Lines 1 to 3 in a4873cb

	on:
	schedule:
	- cron: "15 5,13,21 * * *"

to

on: [push]

If it works, send de PR and I'll merge it.

I think I was able to do this in #13 :-/ -- anyway, actions seem to work. on my repo. Also possible to test by running GITHUB_WORKSPACE=somedir after adding the relevant files into somedir/data and somedir/main

great work...have provinces been added yet?

[Not-Jayden]

Any updates on this? Working on a tracker that I'd really love to be able to support state/provinces as well.

[pomber]

There are some new changes coming to the source repo (#37).
I would need to change how the data is fetched so I'll add provinces then (in a different json).

[bakman2]

would be nice if the countries could be mapped to their ISO 2 or 3 code, which in turn can be mapped to lon/lat. There are several nodejs libs available that have all the information required.
(and perhaps even a proper ISO date format and deaths today property)

[izaius]

Would really like state/province level info. Thank you for your work on this so far!

Long story short, the JHU data is a complete mess, particularly in the daily series, there are key issues in multiple places.

I was working on a pull request for this repo, but required too many hacks to make the API data consistent.

Anyway, I made an API for US state data available here: https://github.com/energee/covid19-us-api based on NY time's csv. Hopefully its helpful!

[jsanjay63]

Taking the idea from this project, I made available COVID-19 data in GeoJSON format.
Repo URL: https://github.com/jsanjay63/covid19-geoextractor

Sample Data available: https://jsanjay63.github.io/covid19-geoextractor/output/covid19_time_series.geojson

Feel free to give feedback or contribute. A small contribution to fight COVID :)
