Parser for covid-19 Raw Data shared by: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Link: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/download-todays-data-geographic-distribution-covid-19-cases-worldwide

Steps to create a virtual environment:

1. Find out Python3 version: python3 -V

2. It should output something like: Python 3.7.4

3.If required sudo apt install virtualenv

4. Now run the following command to create a virtual environment virtualenv --no-site-packages --python=python3.7 covid19VirEnv

5. To activate the the virtual environment run source covid19VirEnv/bin/activate

6. To install dependencies run pip3 install pandas matplotlib tabulate plotly xlrd

Steps to Run Covid Profiler:

1. To activate the the virtual environment run source covid19VirEnv/bin/activate

2. To generate the graphs run python3 covid19ECDCProfiler.py

python3 covid19ECDCProfiler.py --country=China country: input country name for which you want to see details data (optional parameter)

Output:

1. Output HTML file (covid19_ECDC_.html) is generated, which has all the data in tabular/text format.

Limitations:

1. Tested in Ubuntu 18.08 only

2. The raw data excel sheet needs minor modification. Some of the entries in column NewDeaths is empty. Fill them with 0 (Select filter next to the NewDeaths column, remove selection againt "Select All", select "Blanc". Now fill 0 (zero) againt all the blanc cells. Now click on the filter, and select all to bring it back to original view. Save the excel sheet)

3. covid19ECDCProfiler_16Mar.py works with excel sheet 16 March and previous dates covid19ECDCProfiler.py works with excel sheet 17 March and latest
