This project is a public health dataset providing historical and real-time COVID-19 case and death counts across the United States. It consists of a collection of CSV files containing time-series pandemic data organized by date, state, and county.
The dataset includes specialized records for institutional outbreaks, tracking infection and death rates within correctional facilities, colleges, and universities. It also provides statistics on excess mortality to estimate total pandemic impact and survey-based data on mask usage prevalence across different counties.
To facilitate geographic analysis and the integration of external population data, the records utilize Federal Information Processing Standard codes. The data covers a broad range of metrics, including cumulative and daily infection counts, mortality trends, and regional health statistics.
