Data on the geographic distribution of COVID-19 cases worldwide (© ECDC [2005-2019])
data("covid")
A matrix with 99 rows and 41 columns. Each column corresponds to one country, with the name of the country (denoted by three letter) being the name of the column.
Each entry in the dataset denotes the number of new cases of infection per day and per country. In order to make the data comparable across countries, we take the day of the 100th confirmed case in each country as the starting date t = 1. This way of “normalizing” the data is common practice (Cohen and Kupferschmidt (2020)).
