1/ 🥳🎉We won an academic award!
Today CoronaWatchNL received the Research Data Prize, an important academic award on making data available in a FAIR manner to improve and validate research. We contributed to this publication and are co-author on it. #OpenScience#AcademicTwitter
2/ CoronaWatchNL collects data on the COVID-19 disease in The Netherlands. The data is collected from various sources on a daily basis, like RIVM, LCPS, NICE and many more. doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…
4/ This project standardizes and publishes data, and makes it Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). We aim to collect a complete time series and prepare a dataset for reproducible analysis and academic use. go-fair.org/fair-principle…
2/ The primary transmission paths are currently described as person-to-person contact through respiratory droplets generated by breathing, sneezing, coughing etc. Transfer might also occur through hand contact of fomites.
3/ A more recently suggested route might be the faecal-oral route but data on this route seems scarce.[1, 2, 3]
After infection it takes anywhere between 2 to 14 days for symptoms to develop with a median reported at 5 to 6 days.
2/ 🛌 The LCPS has reported a decrease in hospital bed occupation for most of week 46. The ICU bed occupation is reported stable at ~600 and it has not significantly increased or decreased in week 46.
Stichting NICE data seems to agree with the LCPS data but deviates slightly.
3/ 💩 The number of COVID-19 RNA particles measured in sewage on a national level has decreased in week 45. This data might be a potential early indicator. It is not clear yet how this number can be made useful at this point in time.
