An API and dashboard to expose model results for COVID cases in Africa **This project and corresponding website are no longer maintained by Two Sigma. We continue to encourage independent development.** ## Africa COVID Dashboard ### Overview Data Clinic collaborated with the COVID-19 in Africa Data Science team to develop an open source interactive multilingual dashboard that facilitates access to their nuanced insights of the trajectory of COVID-19 in Africa and supports decision-makers across the continent. The dashboard, written using a React-based frontend and a NestJS API, displays infection, recovery, and death statistics for each African country along with forecasts based on the model produced by the COVID-19 in Africa Data Science Initiative. ### Repo structure The inital repo is setup as a yarn + lerna based monorepo. It has two packages - frontend : A create-react-app template using typescript - api : A nestjs server for developing the API, this is also written in typescript In addition to these javascript packages there are two other directories - data: which should contain any rawor proccessed data we need for the project - scripts: which should contain any scripts we are using to clean and transform data. For example any ETL should live in this folder. These are just placeholders and we might swich these out for another type of server / frontend framework as the project progresses. ### Running the application First install the dependencies using ```bash yarn install ``` From the root dir and then run ``` yarn start ``` To get the servers running. The frontend will be served at localhost and the API will be hosted at localhost ### Data The majority of data that the team is using comes from the COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University, github.com. Population data comes from The World Bank, World Development Indicators, datacatalog.worldbank.org …
