Visualizations of COVID-19 data.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I began experimenting with visualizations of the various metrics tracking the progression of the disease in the state of Utah. The source for the data was the COVID Tracking Project. I created almost daily updates of the visualizations for about a year. In March of 2021, The COVID Tracking Project ceased publishing data updates, and I elected at that time to cease updating the plots, as well.

conda env create from the root directory of the repository will create a conda environment suitable for running the main notebook.

After activating the environment, jupyter lab will get the notebook server up and running. Then browse to the notebook of interest.

The notebook utah_covid_plots.ipynb outputs three image files that contain the most interesting plots. Those image files were committed and versioned over time for those who don't want to run the notebook.
