How many COVID cases have there been in Alameda County and its cities?
I wanted to keep track of the local COVID-19 cases in the area and there is quite a bit of info on the the Alameda county COVID case website/dashboard. The website includes information about cases for each of the cities in the county as well as by zipcode for even further detail. However, the dashboard is a bit lacking when it came to showing the data in an easily digestible format. And I dislike the Tableau/PowerBI dashboards that are commonly used on these government websites. So I decided to roll my own, using data from their website.
You can choose the city or zip code from the drop down menu to see the historical values for daily confirmed coronavirus cases as well as the cumulative cases in each area. I will probably add more details/features to the website over time.
Sources and Tools:
I used a python script to download and parse the coronavirus cases for each area from the Alameda county website. I plotted this data using the plotly.js open source graphing library and HTML/CSS/Javascript code for the interactivity and UI.
