corona_tracker.py scrapes data from Worldometer's Coronavirus page every day, and sends targeted recipients an email with the daily update on the number of cases/deaths in specific locations (countries, US states, US counties).
A csv is created with the list of recipients, and the specific locations that they need to be updated about. sample.csv can be accessed to see a sample set-up of the data. Each recipient has their own row, with a maximum of 8 locations for each recipient.
For each location, you need a geo_type (the type of location being searched for - 'Country', 'State', 'County'), us_state (only needed if geo_type='State') & geo_name (the location being searched for). The default for us_state is NaN if it's not needed. If you're looking for global infections, set geo_type='Country' and geo_name='World'
Once the CSV has been filled in, the python file can be run. THe main() function is initiated when the python file is run. hour & minute is the time at which you want the email to be sent. This is by default 8:25, as I am located in the +8:30 GMT timezone. The data resets at 00:00 GMT every night, and the email is therefore sent 5 minutes before the data is reset. Change it based on where you are located. The from_email variable is a dictionary with username and password of the E-mail account (needs to be an insecure Gmail id).
Once it's been initated, the python file can run continuously, sending the daily updates.
