Covid tracker

Go directly to the Covid Tracker.

I created this tracker because I was both frustrated with the existing trackers, and I wanted to see what I could do with a public dataset and free tools (and as a data-architect, well why not!).

All the datasets are publically available, and I created the dashboards using Google data studio. The reports are auto-updated, but are only as up to date as the source data (generally updated as per yesterday).

Here’s the dashboard:

Active cases are calculated as = confirmed cases – deaths – recoveries
