This website tracks COVID-19 data state-wide and by county. The Static Charts page shows COVID-19 positive tests and deaths, and various rates are calculated to track spread. Proxy metrics for estimating social distancing are also included along with data on hospital admissions and resources. The Demographics page has charts that show various case and death statistics calculated for each age group. The Hospitals page tracks additional data that might indicate strain on hospital resources. The COVIDcast
dashboard follows a metric, combined indicator, that might be predictive of virus spread. Metropolitan Statistical Area statistics for cases and positivity rates are also provided.
Please contact me if you find any issues with the site. My contact information and the code used to generate the site can be found on my github page. Data used to generate the charts can be downloaded through the R package, indianacovid19data, github, or zenodo Website for Indiana COVID-19 Tracker
A tutorial for creating websites using R Markdown.
To build the website, run rmarkdown::render_site()
, which knits each Rmarkdown (*.Rmd) based on parameters in _site.yml
before pushing the files back to Github
.
To decide how to manage the interactive web apps that can be developed around the same reproducible reporting tool I have used a collection of shiny examples and tutorials. I have included this information to help other states do the same.
