2019 Wuhan Coronavirus data (2019-nCoV)

This public repository archives data over time from various public sources on the web.

Data is presented as timestamped CSV files, for maximum compatibility.

It is hoped that this data will be useful to those producing visualizations or analyses.

Code is included.

Sample animation

Shown here in GIF format. There is a better (smaller/higher resolution) webm format also generated.

Generates static SVGs.

Source images were this one and this one.

For a China map, the following command sequence will grab data from DXY and render it.

./build china

You now have timestamped JSON, CSV and SVG files in the data-sources/dxy/data/ subdirectory.

For a world map, the process is similar.

./build world

You now have timestamped CSV and SVG files in data-sources/bno/data.

Probably an incomplete list:

Includes detail on foreign sources, individual provincial update URLs. Updated once per day or so.

High level information without specific source URLs. However, this is updated frequently and appears to be the best available data.

Add historical data from personal archives and Alihealth (thanks to @aboutmydreams / #3)
Add key to global view
Convert disparate data sources in to singular SQLite database
Add cities (needs an improved visualization system)
More visualization options:
- amcharts (icky licensing but looks cool)
- d3.js and d3-china-map (good option but possibly overkill)
- jvectormap and jvectormap china (good option but no cities)
- kartograph (good option)
Add other sources, eg.
- National Health Commission daily reports
- Tencent live monitoring page
- English Wikipedia (although it generally lags DXY on updates, the summary table is good for international data citations)
- Fuuuuuuu's map which seems to have many international cases missed by BNO
Potential for different source SVGs, eg. naturalearthdata

Potential for global spread of a novel coronavirus from China (2020-01-27)
- Ranks Burma, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Philippines as relatively vulnerable.
Real-time nowcast and forecast on the extent of the Wuhan CoV outbreak, domestic and international spread (2020-01-27)
- Hong Kong University professors estimate 43,590 infections as of 2020-01-25. (ie. ~20x 'confirmed cases')
- 2019-nCoV may be about to become a global epidemic
- Self-sustaining human-to-human spread is already present in all major Chinese cities
Pattern of early human-to-human transmission of Wuhan 2019-nCoV (2020-01-24)
- We found the basic reproduction number, R0, to be around 2.2 (90% high density interval 1.4–3.8), indicating the potential for sustained human-to-human transmission. Transmission characteristics appear to be of similar magnitude to severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the 1918 pandemic influenza.
Novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV: early estimation of epidemiological parameters and epidemic predictions (2020-01-23)
- Only 5% of cases are likely reported in official figures of confirmed cases.
