Coming Soon: Georgia Hospitals Covid Dashboard

Using API data from Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) via Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), the graphs below show data from April 2020 through (in the static image below) July 2022. All data relates to Hospitals, and is segmented below into statewide data, and Region N (Cobb, Douglas, and IIRC Cherokee counties). When the live reports get migrated, I'll segment them rather than bundle them, but this preview can show you how useful the format is as compared to what the state offers us.

Hello World!

 This will serve as the 4th (5th?) front end for Covid-19 data I've been collecting and visualizing since February 2020. There's considerably less to show off now than there was in mid 2021, since many of my data sources ceased operations and as a result many of my reports had to be discontinued. A few still live on automagically, and a few automanually, but stage one of this migration involves bring over static images of the remaining reports, and linking out to the underlying data spreadsheet until I can get more native functionality built out here. Please note, for all of this data, I'm not a doctor or subject matter expert here, I'm just someone that wanted to do a bit of my own research and organization of data because I couldn't find the contextual presentations I craved to explore on this critical topic. Don't take this as medical advice, or with any guarantee of accuracy - I'm just a hobbying mostly using wikipedia and articles to try to make sense of things. That said, some of my reports are using CDC or Georgia DPH APIs on the backend, so at worst I'm making technical errors there, but I suppose that's not re-assuring. Basically, take this with a grain of salt, and use it as a starting point for your own research. And keep in mind that phase one (static images) will be much less useful than automated later phase (which may take weeks to roll out and months to optimize).


Here's the old data site, where I'll be pulling key reports from. I may also do a few blog posts with images of legacy reports, just to show off some of the cool stuff I used to do when I had free data and time to play with it.
