OK, I think I& #39;ve now correctly added Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland to the Local Authority hex map for #covidー19uk https://odileeds.github.io/covid-19/LocalAuthorities/?hextype=COVID-19-percapita">https://odileeds.github.io/covid-19/...
Note that Wales/Scotland report numbers by Health Board and elsewhere some numbers are reported by Upper Tier Local Authorities. For those, confirmed cases are shared equally between Local Authorities in the group but per capita values are the same for the group.
UK geographies are hard.
English numbers come from @PHE_uk. Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland numbers come from @tom_e_white& #39;s brilliant collation ( https://github.com/tomwhite/covid-19-uk-data/blob/master/data/covid-19-cases-uk.csv)">https://github.com/tomwhite/... so should be as up-to-date as each authority is there.
I refactored quite a bit of the code yesterday. The area search now filters across both visualisations. The keen-eyed will notice that total cases seems to drop early on for some authorities which shouldn& #39;t happen. I think the data are messy early on in this.
E.g. Leeds https://github.com/tomwhite/covid-19-uk-data/blob/master/data/covid-19-cases-uk.csv">https://github.com/tomwhite/...
You& #39;ll also notice that different parts of the UK report numbers at different times so won& #39;t always be showing "today" values; sometimes an area will be showing "yesterday". I& #39;ve tried to note that in the popups/info.
Also note that populations for English authorities are 2020 estimates ( https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationprojections/datasets/localauthoritiesinenglandtable2).">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepop... For Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland they are mid-2018 estimates ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2en5rf72zpdbag/Health%20Board%20to%20LA%20Look%20Up.xlsx?dl=0).">https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2en5rf...
We are (for lots of good reasons and less good reasons) a messy country that publishes different data for different parts in different places on different timescales. A UK-wide view is a "best attempt".
You will also need to exercise judgement in comparing figures as different parts of the UK may be collecting "Confirmed cases" differently. They may have different volumes of testing. Differences aren& #39;t necessarily just down to different incidence rates.
Have I got all the clauses in this thread?
