Kaggle

The primary goal of Kaggle’s COVID-19 effort is to find factors that impact the transmission of COVID-19 (particularly those that map to the NASEM/WHO open scientific questions). You've already shown great results in producing meaningful insights to help address the pandemic! - Kaggle Team

• COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge (CORD-19) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

• COVID-19 Global Forecasting Challenge week 2 of Kaggle's COVID19 forecasting series: The primary goal is not only to forecast accurately, but to find factors that impact transmission rate of COVID-19. You are encouraged to pull in, curate, and share data sources that might be helpful. If you find variables that look like they impact the transmission rate, please share your findings in a notebook.

• COVID-19 Dataset Challenge: Kagglers will need to find, curate, share -- and join -- useful public datasets. You can review the relevant threads for sharing datasets and discussing dataset ideas to get an idea of the types of things that Kagglers find most useful. For this challenge we are only considering public datasets on Kaggle.

What is Corona virus? What is COVID-19? Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-COV2 is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans. Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans. It is believed that COVID-19 was transmitted from pangolin to humans (current theory). Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute
