COVID-19 cases vs. ICU capacity map

A daily-updating choropleth map that shows confirmed COVID-19 cases per ICU bed for each US state.

Sources

Hospital stats from Harvard Global Health Institute

Daily COVID-19 data from COVID Tracking Project

Installation

Installation is pretty simple. Clone the repo, then install python dependencies with pipenv:

pipenv install

Next, you can run the scraper manually with the cron.sh script:

./cron.sh

which will scrape COVID-19 data, aggregate it with hospital stats and GeoJSON, and insert it into a database. This will then be displayed as a map when the user views the website.

Once you've scraped the data, go ahead and start the flask server, which resides in the run.py file.

Configuration

The following vars need to be put in a config.py file inside an instance dir in the root of the repo.

MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN: An access token for Mapbox. It's required for the map background.
SENTRY_DSN: A DSN for Sentry. If provided, Sentry error reporting is setup.

An example would look like this

# An access token for Mapbox. It's required for the map background.
MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN = "wq.s12eD3dad21xd34g23bacs4s2c3x4ebg2muc42fdsfsfsf"

# A DSN for sentry. If provided, sentry error reporting is set up.
SENTRY_DSN = "123123@sentry.io/32423432"

Daily Update

Add the contents of the cron.txt file to your crontab to activate daily running of the scraper.
