New South Wales outbreak paths update for 3 July 2021: Inspired by the very informative work of @dbRaevn, a dataviz of the paths of infection, for the current COVID-19 outbreak. Interactive dataviz, data and source code available here: github.com/Mike-Honey/covid-…

Thanks @Mike_Honey_ and @dbRaevn you've visualised the outbreak nicely. Outbreak management looks now at critical issue of % cases not in isolation. Visualising this would be helpful as I'd like to show it at a data conference - giving all credit to both of you

Unfortunately except when specific cases are called out, we only get told the sum total of cases in a day that were isolating, not which cases, so I can't indicate them on the map. However, @juliette_io does chart these numbers over time to see the trend:
Seems green was the right colour for this chart Gladys says more cases in quarantine / isolation during infectious period show there are 'green shoots' in controlling outbreak🌱 Saturday: (+35) 🏠Yes: 23 🐦No: 9 🏃‍♂️In part: 3 #covid19aus #covidnsw #covid19nsw #COVID19Vic

thanks I've been following this purple group since the beginning as its critical. I have your link and @Mike_Honey_ and will show this to the conference on how outbreak epi has advanced from 'line list' and 'spot maps' 😆

Singapore publishes daily epidemiology reports that include individual case numbers & links (see p5 example 3 July: moh.gov.sg/docs/librariespro…). Daily! The level of basic data provided puts Australia to shame. Can't we, or won't we, provide these details? #covidaus

I think its a case of wont. It needs to be available by date rather than needing to follow morning presser reports. Full transparency minus personal identify data is sadly missing.

Yes, the reflex attitude against transparency is very sad indeed. All these great data analysts out there doing these visualisations, the kind of work that can only help educate the public, yet they have to spend most of their time on a data hunt. Very counter-productive imho.
