ireland_covid19_data

Data pulled from here. Tableau dashboard here. Blog post here.

Notes:

• 'txt_...' fields are numbers scraped from regex on the text of the press release.
• all other numbers are scraped from the html tables in the press releases.
• there seems to be some delay of a couple of days between the tables in the press releases and the numbers in the text.
• looks like some manual process generating the press releases so things may change and break.
• Two main tables are daily_stats.csv and daily_stats_long.csv, these are the main headline figures and any other daily metric in both a wide (column per metric) and long (row per metric) format.
• Any changes, additions, questions, please feel free to raise an issue.
• Feel free to fork, change or use however you want.

TODO:

• Add new metrics as they added to gov.ie press releases.
• Refactor and clean up the code as its getting very messy.
• Scrape data from daily pdf's posted here by HSE.
• Maybe figure out the api behind stuff like this.
