The covidtracking.com website no longer updates data so this project will not function. It is left here for reference only.
The Covid Tracking Project (https://covidtracking.com) tracks all US state data and collates it into one report. This project for MagTag wakes up once a day at 8pm, about a half hour after the data is posted daily, and displays the latest data report.
In between check-ins the MagTag goes into a deep sleep mode so it will run for many weeks on a charge
Parts
You'll want a MagTag + battery, and magnetic feet to attach it to your fridge or other metallic surface
You can also get the parts separately
Also needed:
