## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 73, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2368, "days_push": 163, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived, no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## Adoption (not part of the score)
Stars 5659, forks 3572 (observed 2026-08-28T04:09:27.342307+00:00)

## What it is
Our World in Data's open dataset of COVID-19 cases, deaths, hospitalizations, tests, and vaccinations for all countries, updated daily until August 2024. The repository is now archived; current data is published via the OWID data catalog and ETL project.

## Use cases
- download covid-19 cases and deaths data by country as csv
- analyze global coronavirus vaccination rates over time
- get historical covid testing and hospitalization data for research
- compare pandemic statistics across countries in a notebook
- build a dashboard of covid-19 trends
- cite reliable pandemic data in a paper

## When to choose
- you need historical COVID-19 data through mid-2024 for analysis or research
- you want a well-documented, country-level pandemic dataset in CSV/JSON
- you are studying the pandemic retrospectively

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date COVID-19 data after August 2024 - use the OWID data catalog instead
- you need real-time epidemic surveillance
- you need data on diseases other than COVID-19
