Covid 19 Bay Area Data
If you would like to see the site, please head over to: https://covid-19-bay-area.netlify.app/.
My wife is a health care worker in the Bay Area and had been looking
for COVID-19 data specifically about Bay Area counties. She was only
able to find data either for all of CA or separated by county; nothing
that grouped the Bay Area counties together. That ask is where this
app originated.
All the above graphs show data about COVID-19 in certain
Bay Area counties (see below). The green graphs show the number of confirmed
COVID-19 cases, while the purple graphs show the number of COVID-19
deaths. The yellow graph shows hospitalizations with confirmed
COVID-19: “This includes all inpatients (including those in ICUs and
Medical/Surgical units), and does not include patients in affiliated
clinics, outpatient departments, emergency departments and overflow
locations awaiting an inpatient bed. As of April 21, 2020, COVID ED
patients were removed from the Hospitalized COVID count and counted
separately” (see datasource definition). The red graph shows available
ICU beds: “NICU, PICU, and adult” (see datasource definition). On some of the graphs, a trendline
has been drawn showing the seven day average values to provide a
more consistent representation of the trend and counteracting the
sporadic data availability on weekends. Optionally, you can also
toggle data for all of California using the button at the top.
Note: the yellow and red graphs come from a different underlying
datasource, so their dates may not exactly line up with the other
four graphs.
Bay Area counties are defined here as:
As of 6/29/20: the underlying datasource has changed. A fix has been implemented.
All data presented here is sourced from the CA.Gov Open Data Portal, which publicly exposes this data via two public API endpoints:
