Create a Python project to get total Covid-19 cases, total deaths due to Covid-19, total Covid-19 patients recovered in the world.
Sample Output:
Total COVID-19 cases in the world: 99,857,603 Total deaths due to COVID-19 in the world: 2,140,768 Total COVID-19 patients recovered in the world: 71,859,345
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
#Source: https://bit.ly/3cepXbI
from collections import namedtuple
import requests
from lxml import html
covid_data = namedtuple("covid_data", "cases deaths recovered")
def covid_stats(url: str = "https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/") -> covid_data:
xpath_str = '//div[@class = "maincounter-number"]/span/text()'
return covid_data(*html.fromstring(requests.get(url).content).xpath(xpath_str))
fmt = """\nTotal COVID-19 cases in the world: {}
\nTotal deaths due to COVID-19 in the world: {}
\nTotal COVID-19 patients recovered in the world: {}"""
print(fmt.format(*covid_stats()))
