Details

In this simulated dataset, each row refers to a particular patient. The 'confirmation_date' column refers to the date at which a positive COVID-19 test is reported. For each patient, with a probability < 1, a date of onset of symptoms was drawn from a probability distribution. Otherwise, the date of onset of symptoms was left as NA.
