Data Source

UPDATE: JHU dataset changed its name and format, The data for USA and global are separated. The US data adapted a new format. Some amateur data scientists are in charge of the this project. 04-02-2020

The data source used for this analysis is the 2019 Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) Data Repository1 built the Center for Systems Science and Engineering, Johns Hopkins University (GitHub – CSSEGISandData/COVID-19: Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases, provided by JHU CSSE). The following is true for global data set.

Field description:

  1. Province/State: China – province name; US/Canada/Australia/ – city name, state/province name; Others – name of the event (e.g., “Diamond Princess” cruise ship); other countries – blank.

For lab-confirmed cases only (Before Feb 17), please refer to who_covid_19_situation_reports. For Italy, diagnosis standard might be changed since Feb 27 to “slow the growth of new case numbers.” (Source)
  5. Deaths: the number of deaths.
  6. Recovered: the number of recovered cases.

    Time series summary (csse_covid_19_time_series)

    This folder contains daily time series summary tables, including confirmed, deaths and recovered. All data are from the daily case report.

    Field description:

    3. Lat and Long: a coordinates reference for the user.
    4. Date fields: M/DD/YYYY (UTC), the same data as MM-DD-YYYY.csv file.

Loading Data (UPDATED)

The data preparation code is shamelessly taken from here.


Each dataset has `r dim(data.confirmed.us)[1]` rows, corresponding to country/region/province/state. It has `r dim(data.confirmed.us)[2]` columns. Starting from column 5, each column corresponds to a single day. Here we draw a random sample of 10 rows and have a look at their first 10 columns.

The gganimate or gapminder package is almost working for a much easy job, but the data set have city/county with duplicate dates. So, the following rendering method used.

However the city/county stopped updating according to Cities and counties statics going dark · Issue #1068 · CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 · GitHub.

starting 3/10/20, they’re only doing the US by states. Province/State is smallest subcategory they go, and only for some countries (dependencies of some nations and provinces/states of US, China, Canada, Australia, I believe).
