A Shiny app for the interactive charting of weekly covid rates per 100k for all local authorities in the UK.
App is available at: https://rboyes.shinyapps.io/covid19
Uses data from the following sources:
- Covid case data: https://api.coronavirus.data.gov.uk/v1/data
- Local authority population data: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/populationestimatesforukenglandandwalesscotlandandnorthernireland
Some issues around time taken to start up, primarily due to slow responsiveness of the government data website. What I've done as a workaround is run a nightly job that downloads the covid data (see downloader.py/downloader.sh) that is then uploaded to a static website, which the shiny app then uses.
