COVID-RIVM-scripts

📊 Open source scripts for analyzing daily reports from Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) about confirmed COVID-19 cases.

• Get notified when a new number of COVID-19 tests is made available by Dutch RIVM before the news notifies you.
• Find the number of positive COVID-19 tests in any Dutch municipality today / yesterday (and, with some customization, on an arbitrary date)

It's a quick-and-dirty attempt to be made aware of new statistics, so please don't expect the most beautiful code 😉

Installing the notifier

1. Ensure that you have Python 3.x installed on your machine.
2. Ensure that you have playsound installed: pip install playsound
3. Ensure that you have pandas installed: pip install pandas
4. Ensure that you have requests installed: pip install requests
5. Clone this repository.
6. Download a cheer.mp3 file from e.g. https://freesound.org/people/Johanneskristjansson/sounds/371339/ and add it to the folder where you cloned the repository.
7. Do the same for a meh.mp3 file e.g. https://freesound.org/people/UncleSigmund/sounds/30988/

Running the notifier

1. Run the script: python covid.py.
2. The script will automatically stop when new numbers get in and you will be notified by sound.

Running the by-municipality reporter

If new numbers are in, you can also perform a search by municipality name by means of the script by_municipality.py. Please make sure to adapt the municipalities variable and ensure that you have pandas and requests installed (i.e. pip install pandas requests). Then run python by_municipality.py et voila!
