If you're looking to consume this in your Ruby-based application, you might want to check Sarskov out. Sarskov returns statistics in a JSON format.

Kovid is a small CLI app to fetch data surrounding the coronavirus pandemic of 2019. I found myself checking Wikipedia constantly for information so I thought I'd build this to provide info directly in the terminal. It's where some of us spend time more.

Code contribution and ideas welcome.

To install:

• ️ Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Run gem install kovid.

It's recommended you update often with gem update kovid.

You can run kovid --help to see the full list of available commands.

😷 Fetching

• kovid check COUNTRY aliased as kovid country COUNTRY.
• kovid check COUNTRY -f aliased as kovid country COUNTRY --full.

You can get continental information with the following commands:

• kovid africa.
• kovid europe.
• kovid eu. (The European Union)
• kovid sa. (South America)

You can also use USPS abbreviations. Example: kovid state me

You can fetch province specific data:
