Planned update frequency in README about covid-19-data HOT 4 CLOSED

I actually wrote a Selenium scraper that used the last update date by the byline this week and noticed that there are multiple updates throughout the day (typically 3-4x day).

It'd be great if this repository is updated whenever the article is updated, and have the full timestamp, so we can also see intraday changes in the data.

Time stamp by county column?
Kentucky Jeffersonville as of March 27 12PM Noon is 60 cases, it still says quantity of 1

from covid-19-data.

@jqnatividad here's a project with intraday changes, explicit sources, and timestamps for each data point: https://github.com/COVID19Tracking

A combination of the two would be ideal

Hi folks, thanks for this and the interest.

Our goal is to update this data once a day, but for the moment it is still a manual process that includes human verification of the data. We're getting more automation up and running to speed things along. As we fall into a more regular cadence we will update the README with our expected cadence and the last update time. Thanks for the good idea.
