Country specific wrappers for JHU/Google data #406
Comments
I'd not looked at these from the user point of view. From your reprex it looks as though it could be fairly straightforward to make something like a wrapper or catcher, or a pair. My general use is to just call We could have something which would do Similarly we could have Turning that around, having done the survey, a user could then call All the names are just sketches, of course. |

Really like both these ideas Richard, especially the polling of meta-sources. I see the draft PR so will move over there for more comments! |

At the moment it is a little clunky, tedious and a bit opaque to access the regional data imported using the JHU and Google wrappers. It would be really nice to improve access to this data on the same level as other data sources. One of the current issues is discoverability as we don't broadcast to users what the JHU/Google support until they access those classes and these don't work via
get_available_data
or viaget_regional_data
. It is also very slow to clean and processs these big data sets which is a large waste of time if only interested in a single region.This can be done in several ways:
Personally, I think manually adding using the JHU/Google integrations is probably the way to go in terms of giving the best documentation and ease of use.
Tagging for discussions @epiforecasts/covidregionaldata @Bisaloo (appreciate your thoughts). I am happy to look at how to do this but it might take a while so also very happy for anyone else interested to have crack.
