Overview 🎥 In this blog post, I will be reviewing an R package (How fun is that?), called covid19ViewerShiny, authored by Yuheng Cui, containing different functions, a dataset and a shiny application which depicts the COVID19 pandemic which is currently running rampant throughout the world.
COVID-19 or coronavirus is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus. It was first known in December,2019 at Wuhan,China, which then soon turned into a global pandemic as declared by the World Health Organization(WHO) on 11 March,2020.
Why Shiny? Shiny helps us turn our analyses into interactive web applications without requiring HTML, CSS, or JavaScript knowledge. Easy to the eyes, makes analyzed visualizations easier to understand and portray to the readers.
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.
