<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/">https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/</a> is fairly accurate, and has sources (but turn on ad-blockers).  I'm finding it particularly useful for getting data for multiple countries for comparison purposes (particularly Sweden), and I'm copying the data into a local spreadsheet.  I should really turn this into something more shareable like a Jupyter notebook.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The number of cases is a poor measure for most countries, as the testing is relatively small.  And the different amount of testing, as well as different populations, between countries makes it hard to compare directly.</div><div><br></div><div>The number of deaths is a better measure, but tracks behind initial infection by weeks.  So it's hard to see impacts of any legislation.</div><div><br></div><div>The number of deaths we see reported in the UK are not final numbers, but they at least give an indication of trend.  For the final figures on registered deaths we need to go to the ONS, which currently only has data up until 20th March, but does now include COVID-19 specific data - <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales</a> (data gets updated on a Tuesday)</div><div><br></div><div>These final figures then get rolled up into European-wide reporting every Thursday lunchtime.  This again only runs up to week 12 (20th March?) and is an all-causes mortality index rather than specific to any causes.  The raw data doesn't seem to be available, only graphs.  What this means however is that we can eyeball the current situation in comparison to previous years flu epidemics.  <a href="https://www.euromomo.eu/">https://www.euromomo.eu/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Hong Kong clearly has less strict privacy laws, because they are reporting on every single case.  Unfortunately it's in PDF format, and not nice to extract data from.  <a href="https://www.chp.gov.hk/files/pdf/local_situation_covid19_en.pdf">https://www.chp.gov.hk/files/pdf/local_situation_covid19_en.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>But talking of privacy - MIT have produced a contact-tracing app which keeps your data on your device unless you are infected.  This seems a much better solution than the ones governments are creating, without the backing of government/media it's unlikely to get enough people using it.  <a href="https://safepaths.mit.edu/">https://safepaths.mit.edu/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Finally, you (probably) aren't an epidemiologist - you can't just apply data science to this without understanding a lot more about what's going on behind the numbers.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Alice</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 1 Apr 2020 at 16:42, shi via Bradford <<a href="mailto:bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk">bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div>We are keeping track of a couple of things:</div><div><br></div><div>International aid funding via <a href="http://d-portal.org/ctrack.html?text_search=covid-19#view=main" target="_blank">http://d-portal.org/ctrack.html?text_search=covid-19#view=main</a></div><div>Local UK Charities via <a href="http://grantnav.threesixtygiving.org/search?json_query=%7B%22query%22%3A+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22must%22%3A+%7B%22query_string%22%3A+%7B%22query%22%3A+%22%5C%22covid-19%5C%22%22%2C+%22default_field%22%3A+%22%2A%22%7D%7D%2C+%22filter%22%3A+%5B%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%5B%5D%7D%7D%2C+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%5B%5D%7D%7D%2C+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%5B%5D%2C+%22must%22%3A+%7B%7D%2C+%22minimum_should_match%22%3A+1%7D%7D%2C+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%7B%22range%22%3A+%7B%22amountAwarded%22%3A+%7B%7D%7D%7D%2C+%22must%22%3A+%7B%7D%2C+%22minimum_should_match%22%3A+1%7D%7D%2C+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%5B%5D%7D%7D%2C+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%5B%5D%7D%7D%2C+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%5B%5D%7D%7D%2C+%7B%22bool%22%3A+%7B%22should%22%3A+%5B%5D%7D%7D%5D%7D%7D%2C+%22sort%22%3A+%7B%22amountAwarded%22%3A+%7B%22order%22%3A+%22desc%22%7D%7D%2C+%22aggs%22%3A+%7B%22fundingOrganization%22%3A+%7B%22terms%22%3A+%7B%22field%22%3A+%22fundingOrganization.id_and_name%22%2C+%22size%22%3A+3%7D%7D%2C+%22recipientOrganization%22%3A+%7B%22terms%22%3A+%7B%22field%22%3A+%22recipientOrganization.id_and_name%22%2C+%22size%22%3A+3%7D%7D%2C+%22recipientRegionName%22%3A+%7B%22terms%22%3A+%7B%22field%22%3A+%22recipientRegionName%22%2C+%22size
