A data set containing the 30-week incidence rates of COVID-related categories in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), from week 1 beginning June 1, 2020 to week 30, which ended on the last Sunday of the year. The data columns are introduced below. One quick note about the columns of the data set: week_start is present for illustration purposes, as a reminder of what the week column counts. In other words, it does not participate in any visualization.
