Why Am I Doing This?
					I have been in Information Technology since 2003, and data analysis is but one of my disciplines.
					I am currently pursuing a PhD in Information Technology with dual emphasis on data analytics and information security (which is my profession).
					I plan on using this data for (in some part) my dissertation with the focus being: 1) pattern-based analytics; 2) differential analytics; 3) trending models used for specialized circumstances (e.g. a global pandemic and predictive modeling).
					I find even the primary data sources to focus too much on rolling totals and big datasets but ignoring the smaller, more intricate and revealing data beneath it all - hence the need for differential analytics.
					I also find there is a great deal of panic and ignorance in simply looking at rolling totals; the media has been sensationalizing this very thing, playing on viewers' fears along the way.
				Methodology
					I take daily snapshots from 1 primary source: RoyLabs (which pulls directly from CDC, WHO and John Hopkins).
					In order to truly capture trending, in particular, one must capture daily (and weekly) data snapshots.
				Definitions
					Pattern-based Analytics - an overarching method of capturing and analyzing patterns to detect root-cause (analysis), look for trends, and look for any predictors (if any exist)
					Differential Analytics - calculating differences (in the postivve or the negative) between datasets and calculating the results to show pattern-based behaviours (if any exist)
					Trending Models - visual analytical models that help show trends (flat, peak, valley or plateau, up, down)

				Info
					This is a study that began 3/25/2020 through current.  Why 3/25? This is when I started to notice things were getting much worse, case-wise---especially in the U.S.  As a result, I began my study on that day.
					Unfortunately, there are certain daily snapshots that cannot be traced BACK prior to 3/25.
