In etc5523-2020/r-package-assessment-yezihe-0063: Track COVID-19 cases

covidtrack

The goal of covidtrack is to export a Shiny App to show the COVID-19 cases and community mobility changes due to the pandemic.

Overview

covidtrack package is aimed to create a shiny app to track the COVID-19 cases and community mobility changes.

The The Spread of COVID-19 collects coronavirus cases from all countries in the world, including confirmed cases, reported deaths and recovered cases. You can filter the countries you want to observe through the selection bar on the left, as well as the statistics.

The Map section provides a world map. By moving the mouse to the country, it will show you the country name and the cumulative number of confirmed cases so far. Due to the large amount of data, this may take a while.

Community Mobility Changes shows movement trends across different categories of places, and you can also filter countries through the options on the left.

Installation

You can install the covidtrack package from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("etc5523-2020/r-package-assessment-yezihe-0063")
