The objective of the COVID-19 Data Hub project is to provide the research community with a unified data hub by collecting worldwide fine-grained case data merged with demographics, air pollution, and other exogenous variables helpful for a better understanding of COVID-19. This is achieved via the R package COVID19.
Simple, yet effective R package to acquire tidy format datasets of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) epidemic. The data are downloaded in real-time, cleaned, and matched with exogenous variables. Vintage databases are also supported.
We are grateful to the Institute for Data Valorization IVADO and HEC Montréal for sponsoring the development of the data hub. We also acknowledge the efforts of the growing community taking part in the data collection as a joint effort against COVID-19.
The COVID-19 Data Hub (R package COVID19, GitHub repo, cloud storage), and its contents herein, including all data, mapping, and analyses, are provided to the public strictly for educational and academic research purposes. The hub relies upon publicly available data from multiple sources. We are currently in the process of reconciling the providers with proper reference to their open-source data. Please inform us if you see any issues with the data licenses.
We try our best to guarantee the data quality and consistency and the continuous filling of the hub. However, it is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. We hereby disclaim any and all representations and warranties with respect to the hub, including accuracy, fitness for use, and merchantability.
