We can semi-reliably predict (tuning required) the trend of new cases due to COVID-19 in a given district using standard Time Series Analysis methods such as Holt-Winters or ARIMA.
forecast.R contains the code for making a training and testing a model and finally applying it on available data
to forecast the near future.
But before that, we need the data, the scripts for doing that are in the Makefile, but you don't need to know how
it works, generate the data for your district using:
make district='"New Delhi"'
Keep in mind, the data is from covid19india.org and is updated daily, to download a new copy of the data, run
make fetch
make district='"New Delhi"'
