Significant events data
There's a number of significant events that affect data either directly or in delayed fashion and may impact projections. Things like:
- Social distancing imposed
- Shelter-in-place imposed
- Lockdown imposed
- Testing policy change (only performed when result would alter treatment)
- Mass masks use recommended/advised/required
Yes! Is there a website that can be scraped for this? This would likely need to be done manually. Most social distancing is not neatly organized in tables like the Covid counts. Instead, news reports about when measures were put in place would need to be manually aggregated.
This is tough information to gather and I think is currently outside of the scope of this project.
HOWEVER, if there is a source we're currently scraping that provides this data, I would accept a PR to add it into the dataset (though I'm not sure what that would look like).
I'll leave this issue open in case someone finds data and needs an issue to associate it with.

Right, I understand that. It may be a good material for a separate repository to accumulate those events manually. I just think that the same community as this one would be interested in that data :)
- closing borders
- cancelling mass gatherings above X people
- cancelling domestic flights
This spreadsheet has a number of data points for all US states and territories in one document: https://www.nga.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/CoronavirusStateActionsChart_26March2020.xlsx
Just to name a few:
- Emergency declaration
- National Guard activation
- Statewide school closures
- Stay-at-home orders
They update this spreadsheet daily and change the link/filename to match the current day.

It's great to see these interventions organized in one document. Heads up though: currently, it looks like the latest 4 weekdays are available and replacing the date section in the URL with dates before the 25th of March gave no results.
