Rami Krispin's tidy version of the Johns Hopkins global data
is available in an R package,
coronavirus,
that is available for installation via CRAN using install.packages("coronavirus").
Because package from CRAN is only updated periodically,
you can also install directly from the GitHub repository:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("RamiKrispin/coronavirus")
Rami Krispin developed a fantastic Coronavirus dashboard summarizing global data that is updated on a daily basis.
Rami's approach uses flexdashboard to create interactive summaries and visualizations.
The complete code for Rami's dashboard is available here;
look at index.Rmd to see the R code creating the figures.
