Goethe Interactive COVID-19 Analyzer

This repository hosts the codebase associated with the Goethe Interactive COVID-19 Analyzer that allows you to analyze and compare various aspects of data collected all over the world since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This web application exceeds a simple data board showing current infections and other data for different countries across the globe. It allows the user to freely manipulate, adjust, and relate different data sources.

Usage

A description of the included features can be found on the webpage. For local testing purposes, you need to run a local php webserver in the root folder of the repository.

Running It

Hosting by Uni Frankfurt was discontinued after the end of the pandemic, but you can run the application locally by following these steps:

• Clone the repository on your computer (or download it as a zip and extract it).
• Download a backup of the health data: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13vcSJ4268LoEqjYUZjiMYkPxmXr-Dlw4/view?usp=sharing and copy the dat folder into the root folder of the repo.
• Run a local PHP server from the root folder. Under Linux, this would be done e.g. by

$ php -S localhost:8000

• Open localhost:8000 in your browser and start exploring.
