RtWorld

👋 Hey PH! I'm a student at UC Berkeley who decided to hack together a little project during the quarantine. I'd been following rt.live, the website built by Kevin Systrom & Mike Krieger (co-founders of Instagram), and thought it would be cool to extend their model to the rest of the world. For context, the Rt value tries to determine how many healthy people will contract COVID-19 from an infectious person. The model I'm using is pretty sensitive to data (and thus errors/lags in data) so it'd be best to pair the data on this site with total case count to get a more complete picture of a country's situation. This is one of my first projects so I'm sure there's a lot to improve on. Check out the site if you have time and let me know of any feature requests/what you think. Feedback is always welcome! 🙂
