✨ covid mdims review and maintenance

[lucasrodes]

Continue work from https://github.com/owid/owid-issues/issues/1659, and #3489.

To finalize the work on MDIMs for COVID, we depend on issues owid/owid-grapher#4040. For now, we are happy if we can bring this to a good resting state, and resume later once this issue is solved.

At the moment, the config is not being propagated, which is a blocker for any progress here.

Goal

Bring COVID MDIMs to a suitable resting state.

What's the status?

Some of the charts still need to be prepared and need modifications. These modifications can be done by editing the MDIM config (or indicator configs) in ETL, including adjusting display settings. Some notes on these:

• Editing metadata: After running etlr ... --export one would expect that the MDIM page reflects config changes. Unfortunately, this takes a while (>10 minutes).
• Editing display settings: This is currently not possible. Read more in Add overriding of the display settings of indicators so that colors, the display name etc could be set owid-grapher#4040.

MDIM pages

• 👀 Q&A COVID-19 confirmed cases, covid.cases
• 👀 Q&A COVID-19 confirmed deaths, covid.deaths
• 👀 Q&A COVID-19 hospitalisations, covid.hospital
• 👀 Q&A COVID-19 vaccine boosters administered, covid.boosters
• 👀 Q&A Excess Mortality, covid.xm
• 👀 Q&A Daily new estimated COVID-19 infections, covid.models
• 🏗️ WIP COVID-19: Daily tests vs. daily new confirmed cases, covid.cases_tests
  • Charts are not finalized.
• 🚫 BLK COVID-19 vaccine doses donated to COVAX, covid.covax
  • Display settings not available. We need this to align the coloring of the charts.
  • Question: How do we deal with metadata shown in the data page? It only describes one of the indicators shown in the chart.
• 🚫 BLK COVID-19 vaccines, breakdown, covid.vax_breakdowns
  • Need to change default entity selections in http://staging-site-enhance-covid-mdims-maintena/admin/grapher/mdd-covid-vax-breakdowns?breakdown=manufacturer.
• 🚫 BLK Estimated cumulative excess deaths during COVID-19, covid.xm_models
  • "per 100k" chart doesn't look right.
  • WHO chart looks like the data stopped being reported at some point? Maybe worth limiting the year range?
  • Coloring needed (for CI)

Q&A:

• hide time in title is not possible.
