Graphs and tables about COVID-19 in Italy
The Italian Civil Protection has a repository with data about COVID-19 in Italy on GitHub. In March 2020 I began using the repository to plot the evolution of the pandemic in Italy. It started as an exercise where I could use literate programming to get a sense of the evolution of the pandemic in Italy.
Over time content and analyses have grown and you can now find the following information
- New Cases in Italy This page focuses on new cases in Italy and compares them with historical data (look how small the first lockdown compares to the current situation! notice also that the number of hospitalized people is about the same we had during the lockwdown despite a much higher number of cases).
- People Tested and Tests focuses on the number of tests and compares them with the number of new cases.
- Overall Situation in Italy Good for getting the general situation and, if you are into R and Org Mode, to view a relative complex example of literate programming.
