Inspiration

I saw how the world was being affected by the pandemic in different ways. I mostly saw ignorance surrounding what this virus entails. I wanted to help the community in some way which led me to make this program.

What it does

This program answers questions related to the Coronavirus and COVID-19 using search patterns and web scraping data.

How I built it

I used a text editor called Sublime Text and I executed the program in Terminal.

Challenges I ran into

One challenge was trying to make the program compatible with MacOS and Windows, so many users could use it. Another challenge was making the UI presentable and user-friendly.

Using it

Download ParseHub
Download Python
Download the repository off of GitHub
Change directory to where all the files are contained
Type pip install -r requirements.txt in
Web scrape worldometers.info using ParseHub or you can use my project and run the program
Edit the code as needed for the information
Run python main.py
To figure out commands say "hey corona help" and the voice assistant will tell you what to do
Type python pyttsx3.py to figure out the different voices on your PC, so you can change the voice of the assistant.
Have fun!
