Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: xtstfetchcovid19 downloads COVID-19 datasets from the COVID-19 Data Hub. The command xtstfetchcovid19 allows to download COVID-19/CORONAVIRUS/SARS-CoV-2 datasets in Stata format at 3 different levels of granularity: country-level data (level 1), state-level data (level 2) and city-level data (level 3). It permits to obtain time series and panel datasets on numerous variables, such as: the number confirmed cases, deaths, recovered cases, tests, vaccines, people vaccinated, hospitalized patients, people in intensive care unit, latitude, longitude, population, key google mobility, key apple mobility, etc. The downloaded datasets can be aggregated at any frequency: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc. Cross-sections of the datasets can also be obtained after transforming the downloaded data. All these datasets come from the COVID-19 Data Hub which is a website dedicated to make integrated COVID-19 data available to the wider community of researchers around the world for a deeper insight into COVID-19.
