We've got a lot of new repos now; perhaps @zachlipton or @julia326 could try to write up descriptions of all of them for the https://covidtracking.com/software page?

The table seems to be overflowing in some way.

Most people are seeing the website at http://covidtracking.com/ but some are not and the HTTPS is still borked

By the Twitter and RSS links

We often check local news sources for the most recent data for each state. I think we should include a link to these sources for each state.

For commonly confused domains (covidtracker, coronatracker?), it might be worth having a banner of the form
"for the global arcgis visualization, see plague.com."

Perhaps this can be merged w/ other discussions of how to link out to existing visualizations, since most of these are quasi-relatime visuals with their own data sources

We show last updated time on the most recent data and state pages. We should also show last checked time.

Should the tables/pages be njk templates or is there is going to be some client side code like React that creates the table and allows some interactivity with it?

Thanks much to all who are working on this project.

Link to "the recent data broken out by state" on https://covidtracking.com/us-daily/ goes only to the most recent data per state. Would like to see historical data per state also tracked.

I believe @julia326 or @joshuaellinger are the keepers of this data on S3. It would be amazing if we could link to it on the state page, or even have a carousel display of it!

The spreadsheets would be easier to read if the top row was frozen.

Hiya let's knock out some fixes. I got this from Júlia Ledur:

Website suggestions:

• Don’t think the headers should be underline as they are already bold and colored (“Home”, “US Daily” and “States”). I would probably keep them black too.
• The COVID Tracking Project in the nav bar should be bigger. Right now the hierarchy is a bit odd. Also the COVID Tracking Project logo should be somewhere in the nav bar at the top Agreed but moved to next week's design refresh.
• Putting “Best Practices for Data Release” before the press section makes more sense to me?
• I feel like we’re missing a “download data” button at the top of the “most recent data” page. That would then take the reader to the “Initial basic API & csv downloads” page added text links for now, moving button to the NEXT list
• We should standardize the abbreviation for United States to U.S. (AP style) across the website and graphics. Right now, we have both "US" and "U.S." in the first sentence of the homepage other way around sorry, we're stuck with it for now

Get Gatsby and React going. Do first draft of all the components.

This is to bootstrap and coordinate work towards a major rewrite of the site structure. I'll call this project website-restructure.

This is not only structure but also design. This rev will be the vehicle for the new design.

The requirements:

I would love to see a feature to jump to a particular state from the /states/ page. I've used chosen before, which allows for both entering text to search and for choosing from a dropdown.

Something similar would be great. I'm curious to hear others' thoughts.

I've noticed a few rough edges when viewing the website on my iPhone.

Home

• "US Historical Data" and "Most Recent Data" in the header wrap onto two lines.
• The "In the press" logos stretch the width but the list below wraps much earlier, causing the logos to have a big overhang.
• Footer links stack vertically quite a bit. Maybe fine but looks a bit odd.

Most recent data

• "Pos + neg" title in US totals table wraps
• Below each state the "Grade - Last updated - Last checked" display wraps. Maybe stack?

I'll stop here but when we have resources this could use a pass.

Hello! This great PR from @jeremiak slid by me and I only just saw it. @beep has since made a bunch of great CSS changes and we've changed the homepage text. Could one of you wonderful humans merge master in and update the PR to fix conflicts before we merge the PR?

THANKS, SORRY, SO MANY THINGS.

This happens with #main width set to 1024 pixels which I believe is the same as the body width.

Maybe we could have individual state pages that each have the daily history for the state? Might also be good to include links to the screenshots taken of the individual state websites.

This should be a simple fix -- just need to go into the template and add whitespace values as defaults when the table values are missing.

Alternatively, this could be solved with flex-grow.

This page has two functions: teaching about the history of the project and giving attribution to contributors.

I propose a minor bit of refactoring.

The first paragraph in "current status" should move into "history" and get a little touching up on the text.

The "current status" section should be renamed "contributors."

For a page like https://covidtracking.com/data/, there is a page title in the content, like "Most Recent Data", but not at the window level. In HTML the window title is the element html.head.title.

For example, the window-level title for that "Most Recent Data" page is the same as for every other page on the site: "The COVID Tracking Project":

What it should be is "The COVID Tracking Project - Most Recent Data"

It would be great to have some words on how a person or small team can contribute to the project.

Some ideas

• How to help collect/record data.
• How to help with website/graphics.
• How to bug public officials to improve/increase reporting of data and boost quality.

We've patchworked up a pretty solid set of items on this site, but after I finish adding some quick documentation this morning, we definitely need to go through and do some usability and feature design stuff. This is the GH home for that.

I know we've talked about this for the next design pass but our data guys are extremely brain-itchy about it. @beep could you take a look at this when next you pass by and LMK if it's quick enough to just do?

I found myself wanting to link people to the Best Practices doc from the homepage and since the page overflows the default viewport height on most screens I realized it wasn't easy to link to a specific section based on a header anchor link (which I find extremely useful).

Example:

-<h2>Best Practices for Data Release</h2>
+<h2 id="best-practices-for-data-release">Best Practices for Data Release</h2>

Then anyone can easily link to https://covidtracking.com/#best-practices-for-data-release and get straight to the relevant section. We can also style the headers to display a ¶ symbol next the header when hovered so these permalinks are discoverable.

I have a proof of concept that simply adds markdown-it-anchor and replaces the default 11ty Markdown generator so that we can add that plugin and process all headers with it (it adds an anchor wrapping header tags and we can customize which header levels get it).

I'll post the PR in a bit for discussion if we think this is useful.

A slight expansion of what's in this tweet: https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1237423059545587714

Hi,
I think the WA results are reporting total tests as negatives.

On: https://covidtracking.com/data/

We probably need to rework the way we set up the grid since it's now overflowing.

Is data for cases by counties in US available?

I am looking for data for Riverside counties at CA. I can manually read from their announce website, but just wondering if there are any existed data source?

Thanks!

This is a test.

This should be pretty simple: the Project currently always refers to states and territories as simply "states"

For example, on the /us-daily/ page, the table indicates that 56 states are tracked while this includes N. Mariana Islands, Guam, Washington D.C., and others:

I'm not sure how many instances there are where we use this phrasing, but I think it should be revised.

Github is detecting a moderate severity security alert on a package we use called Acorn. See https://github.com/COVID19Tracking/website/network/alerts

As the very important work of #59 continues, along with PRs that include client-side code like #100, it's clear that we need a plan for the technical backend of the site. This is an issue to discuss options for either refactoring the existing Eleventy site, or move to another tool.

Technical requirements

• Accessible - People with a wide variety of technologies (mobile, slow connections) and abilities should have fast access to information.
• Available without Javascript - Client-side code should not be required to access critical information
• Client-side code management - Client-side code should be compiled to support external packages and modules.
• Easily documented - Comes with a clear set of coding and style guides.
• Editable - Static should be easily editable with Markdown.
• Data integration - Easily integrates with existing APIs.
• Static - A static site with no backend to manage/go down.
• Developer experience - Uses technology that is widely available, and has low barriers to entry.

Options

• Refactor on Eleventy
• Move to Gatsby
• Move to another site generator

Thanks for this project!

Adding visualizations and the ability to query and drill down into the data would be very handy. E.g. I'd love to see a time series plot of the daily data for just one state or one outcome (positive or death or whatever).

Until that is available, thanks for linking via Twitter to one visualization website for this data:

• The COVID Tracking Project on Twitter: "Finally, though we have not pushed visualizations to the site, volunteers are beginning to work with the data like Willem Botha's quick dashboard" / Twitter

That one is great because it shows barcharts of data over time per state. That site is:

• Workbook: COVID19 in USA - Tableau Public Site

I've seen the URL fail a few times with a warning from Tableau, but if it remains stable, you might want to list it from the website.

For comparison, I also note some other visualizations, which as far as I've seen don't provide the ability to drill down to a region and see a time series for just that area:

• Coronavirus COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) based on their data at CSSEGISandData - COVID-19 - github
• Coronavirus Cases: Statistics and Charts - Worldometer

I think the abbreviations should be sorted alphabetically based on the abbreviation, not on the full state name. For a minute I thought Nevada was missing but then I realized NV was sorting before NH.

The API is reporting 642 positive cases in WA, but the /data page says 769 positive cases.

I'd focus on the icons first, the rest we can probably tackle later.

Here they are:

This was my doing and should be the literal last priority.

The horizontal top and bottom borders are half as thick as the vertical ones. They should be twice as thick as they are now. (They should match the thickness of the vertical right and left borders.)

Here's a close-up:

The top and bottom borders should be just as thick the rest of the table.

A fun game of hide-and-go-seek in CSS if anyone is up for it :)

See https://www.azdhs.gov/preparedness/epidemiology-disease-control/infectious-disease-epidemiology/index.php#novel-coronavirus-home

The tracker is only reporting state lab results, despite commercial lab results being reported on the state website. As of now, AZDHS reports 18 positive, not 12

We now track this value in the sheet for States and US current, and will add it to States and US daily after the 4 pm push today. We should expose this value on our website and in our API!

The crew at https://coronadatascraper.com/#features.json have got some very impressive county-level data that we've been tracking for a while. I think it may be time to bring into our API and display on state-level data pages, with a huge attribution and shout-out to them.

Anyone interested in picking this up? cc @webmasterkai for API, and @kevee for state data pages.

The "Take Me to the Data" link goes to the raw spreadsheets, not the fancy /notes/ display that's linked from the footer.

Cf this thread https://mobile.twitter.com/LizDNature/status/1238653778745856000

Our Twitter and GitHub handles are @COVID19Tracking so it would be nice to own covid19tracking.com.

WHOIS shows [email protected] as the owner, who appears to be this guy https://www.linkedin.com/in/deangelo-jerico-0a733479.

Anyone want to reach out to him?

Could include things like Willem’s dope Tableau dashboard and graphics that use our data like this one:
