Version 1.0.0

The first version, 1.0, was created from the JHU CSSE data for Covid-19 just to see what could be done with the data. All data was put into data structures instead of a database for ease of access and, to be honest, the thought was that this was just playing around. But as changes progressed and the pandemic continues to be problematic it becomes necessary to grow beyond version 1.0.
