covid-19-graphql

Simple Postgraphile based graphQL API based on the data from Johns Hopkins, see https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19.git

Mobility data services based on the mobility data from Apple is also provided, and Google and Fitbit data soon.

A simple federation service (Apollo Federation) is provided to connect these three services together, allowing the client to query for both Johns Hopkins case counts and mobility information for a set of locations in one graphql query.

Data Loader Code

Johns Hopkins COVID-19 death, cases, and recoveries

See /data-loaders/process-data/simpleSqlGeneration.js for US data and /data-loaders/process-data/simpleWorldSqlGeneration.js for the rest of the world

These read the Johns Hopkins time series data and creates sql files to create the johns_hopkins schema and insert the death, confirmed cases, and recovered data into the database, See 51-johns-hopkins-us-deaths-data.sql and. Example input data is provided in the data-loaders/example-data directory. To load the latest, one should perform a git clone of the Johns Hopkins github data repository (https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19.git) and then run simpleSqlGeneration.js and simpleWorldSqlGeneration.js. The location of the input and destination sql files is specified in /data-loaders/process-data/.env, change the input locations to point to the location of the Johns Hopkins time series data.

Inserting into Database

Create the the johns_hopkins schema, for instance (10.0.1.146 is the host in this example):

psql postgres -h 10.0.1.146 -d covid -f 00-johnshopkins-schema.sql

then run the subsequent data sql files. A bash script is inlcuded (/db/init/load-data.sh) to run all of the scripts, edit the bash script to accomodate the location of your database and sql files.

Running the GraphQL Dockers

There are four Dockerfiles that can be used to run the graphql services, located in the following directories

  • graphql (Johns Hopkins GraphQL service with deaths, recoveries, and confirmed cases by location and date)

  • apple-mobility (Apple Mobility data)

  • google-mobility (Google Mobility data)

  • federation (using Apollo Federation)

These first three also contain db folders with init scripts that can be used to run a Postgres Docker (e.g. for development without a local Postgresql), but more typically can be used to populate the covid database in a local instance of Postgresql (for development), or a cloud base Postgres database in production.

To access the local database the pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf files will need to be updated. To find the correct location of these files you can as postgresql using the psq command:

psql -U postgres -c 'SHOW config_file'
psql -U postgres -c 'SHOW hba_file'

The entries that need to be changed are listen_addresses in postgresql.conf and host entry in pg_hba.conf, for example:

listen_addresses='*' #only for dev, narrow this for production

and

host covid postgres 10.0.1.146/16 trust # Allowing docker container connections to host db

In production one would use a dedicated database service, for example an RDS database (in AWS), a Postgresql database in Heroku, or Azure Postgresql.

Note: if using the provided docker-compose yml, The database is stored in the postgres Docker container. This means that in order to start fresh the old containers need to be deleted first; otherwise the init scripts will not run. The database is also very large, on the order of 900,000 rows, so running in docker-compose takes a very, very long time to load. To avoid this run Postgres locally instead of in a Docker, or (to just look at a few hundred locations, to get a feel for the API), shorten the case, death, and recovery sql files

Population Data

Johns Hopkins has the population data per county in the time_series_covid19_deaths_US.csv file, but no population is provided for the global data, so the population data from the UN is used, see example-data/WPP2019_TotalPopulationBySex.csv (https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/CSV/). This CSV file uses ISO 3166 country codes (LocID column), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes for a list of country codes, this cooresponds to the code3 column in the Postgresql locations table, i.e. LocID in the UN data is code3 in the Johns Hopkins data. In order to include the province data the location uid (which is used on the US data ending at 84099999) will be added, starting at 90000000, e.g. British Columbia,Canada might have a uid of 90000301, with a code3 of 124. Since there is no row for Canada, and the UN data does not break down population by province, individual country rows will be added for countries that include provinces, e.g. Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, United States, Netherlands, United Kingdom. There are outliers in the Johns Hopkins, global data, e.g. Recovered, Canada, these can be identified by having a Lat and Lon of 0.0,0.0, this data is not included for now.

Timescale Installation Issues (on Postgres 12.2 with OSX)

Timescale is still fairly new to postgres 12. If building from source make sure set and pass the appropriate environment variables. In addition pg_isolation_regress.sh is not installed by default with postgres, so disable.

Typical command lines

export PG_PATH=/usr/local/bin
export PG_PATH=OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
./bootstrap -DPG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pg_config -DREGRESS_CHECKS=OFF

Check the location of Postgres and openssl on the system and modify the above appropriately.

What About Models?

We are not consuming any data from models yet, however https://covid19-projections.com/ looks to be of very high quality.
