This data source of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths is based on reports made available by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. This example data is a snapshot as of March 20, 2024, and ranges from March 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021. It is limited to California, Florida, Texas, New York, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.

It is used in the epiprocess growth rate and epi_slide vignettes.

Modifications:

  • From the COVIDcast Epidata API: The case signal is taken directly from the JHU CSSE COVID-19 GitHub repository. The rate signals were computed by Delphi using Census population data. The 7-day average signals were computed by Delphi by calculating moving averages of the preceding 7 days, so the signal for June 7 is the average of the underlying data for June 1 through 7, inclusive.

  • Furthermore, the data has been limited to a very small number of rows, the signal names slightly altered, and formatted into an epi_df.
