COVID-19 in Kansas

build

This repository contains software that automatically generates graphs about COVID-19 in Kansas.

Background

This project started because, in 2020, some counties in Kansas adopted a mask requirement while others didn't. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment published a chart illustrating COVID-19 changes in masks vs. without counties.

Some people questioned whether this chart was misleading due to its use of different Y-axis. This repository produces a similar chart with a unified Y-axis and shows that the result was not misleading. Here is the original chart I generated using an earlier version of this software:

I have many more graphs also available.

Invocation

This software uses the covid19db to generate the graphs. You need to download (or generate) the covid19.db file. The easiest option is to just donwload the ZIP to the current directory, unzip it, and run it from there.

cd covid19ks
curl -L -o covid19db.zip https://github.com/jgoerzen/covid19db/releases/download/v0.1.0/covid19db.zip
unzip covid19db.zip
cargo run --release

With these commands, you can verify these results for yourself. If you don't already have Rust installed, see the Rust installation page.
