COVID-19 in Howell County, Missouri

This repository contains the daily data files used to generate my COVID-19 dashboard for Howell County, Missouri, as well as the public source files for the dashboard itself, the Hugo source files needed to generate the page, and the Python source files for processing and updating the daily data files.

How it works

Daily data is entered into the relevant file in the daily-data directory.
A Python script processes the daily data into files for the dashboard.
Hugo uses these data files and template files to generate HTML.
The HTML is synced via the docs directory in this repository and hosted on GitHub Pages.
