The aim of this project is to combine several online sources which track healthcare workers who have died of Coronavirus.
The latest clean data can be found in covid_deaths.csv
Currently combining data from five sources:
- Worldwide deaths on Medscape
- UK deaths from the Guardian
- Italian deaths
- Russian deaths
- Brazilian deaths
The scraper for each website is written in Python and is stored in its own folder
inside scrapers. The data is also stored there.
The scrapers generally carry out very little data cleaning. The data cleaning is
done in R and can be found in the folder cleaning. Cleaning makes intermediate
data which is stored in data.
Each of scraper, cleaning and data have their own README.md.
