The purpose of this project is to generate choropleths at the state and county levels of the number of COVID-19 cases in the US, similar in spirit to those found on the Wikipedia page titled "2019–20 coronavirus pandemic", along with other visualizations depicting the virus's dynamics in the US as a whole, by regions, and other areas of interest. I would also like to animate the time series data to visualize how the virus spread according to different metrics such as new cases per day and cumulative number of cases.

Alternatives to consider:
Install requirements in a virtual environment
python3 --version
virtualenv env --python=python3
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Make sure you have a high enough python version (3.5 or higher). To launch the scripts, run
source env/bin/activate
once per terminal. Then, run
cd src
python3 make_fig_usa.py
for instance to run the script to generate a figure displaying the history of cases and deaths in the US.
Here is an explaination of the contents of the .travis.yml file. The first line states that we are building a Python project
language: python
The second details the Python versions we want to build
python:
- 3.6
The third, details, in order, the set of pre-install commands we want to run. In particular, we should always work with the most updated version of pip
before_install:
- python --version
- pip install -U pip
- pip install -U pytest
- pip install pandas
- pip install codecov
Next, we detail the test scripts we wish to run
script: pytest tests/*
Finally, the last line details commands to run after the test script finishes successfully. Here, we report test coverage results to codecov.io
after_success:
- codecov
