The datasets of the novel coronavirus and COVID-19 pandemic.

I think it is probably fair to say that we have all become a little obsessed with the novel coronavirus. As a data scientist I have been amazed to see how quickly organisations and researchers from around the world have pulled together a vast treasure-trove of relevant information, from scientific publications, which might otherwise have remained out of reach behind publisher firewalls, to a wealth of deep and detailed datasets.

In an effort to learn what I can about the pandemic I plan to produce a series of data science articles as I work through some of the more accessible and interesting research questions that can be asked of these datasets. The code and data that I will be using should be available from GitHub.

The main objective of this short article is to provide links to a growing list of relevant data and repositories. I’ll try and keep it up to date and as organised as I can over the coming weeks. If you have any suggestions about what’s missing then please let me know by replying to this article.
