All of the data on that dashboard is in this GitHub repository, by the creators of the dashboard. You probably want this folder, which has a CSV file for each day, added once per day, with all the locations and case counts.
Edit 2020-03-08: I made a Google Sheet that makes it easy to view Johns Hopkins data for up to 5 locations of interest.
If you want to get raw data from the Johns Hopkins Github Repo into a Google Sheet, use these formulas:
=IMPORTDATA("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_19-covid-Confirmed.csv") =IMPORTDATA("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_19-covid-Deaths.csv") =IMPORTDATA("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_19-covid-Recovered.csv")
With these formulas, the data in your sheet should update within a few hours of Johns Hopkins updating their data. If you want to force an update, bust the Google Sheets cache by sticking ?v=1
on the end of the URL.
I'm finding this Spreadsheet useful. Like it's one thing to see current numbers, but it's also useful to see the numbers for each country and a graph.
This website is compiling links to datasets, dashboards, tools etc:
https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2020/coronavirus-map/ has more bay-area specific information, although not everything I want.
Also that spreadsheet is a public service and if you were willing to share it that would be great.
I use Home Assistant for my home automation needs. It has a coronavirus sensor which pulls from the John Hopkins data. I then do two things with that data:
1. I have HA configured to send notifications to my phone when deaths and confirmed cases change by X%.
2. I use the influxdb integration with HA to ship the sensor data to...influxdb. I graph that data with Grafana.
I'm keeping a log of the number of Corronavirus cases (both active and total), in local-areas that I care about.
Currently, I'm using the dashboard put together by John Hopkins Center For Systems Science and Engineering. Every day, I manually open it, zoom into the Bay area (for instance), and count the number of active cases, total cases, and total deaths. I log those numbers in a personal google sheet, for each relevant metropolitan area.
Is there a better way to do this? Does anyone know of a system that is automatically recording the number of cases and number of deaths, in different populations (in the US)?
Thanks
