# COVID-19 Statistics Notification Script
This is a Python script that fetches the latest COVID-19 statistics from a designated source and sends desktop notifications using the `plyer` library. The script allows you to stay updated on COVID-19 data for different states or regions.

```shell
pip install plyer requests
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/covid-statistics-notifier.git
cd covid-statistics-notifier
python covid_stats_notifier.py
```
## Features
- **Customizable Source:** You can easily update the source URL to fetch data from different COVID-19 data providers.
- **Notification Alerts:** The script uses desktop notifications to keep you informed of COVID-19 statistics.
- **Error Handling:** Improved error handling to handle issues gracefully and display helpful error messages.
## Usage
1. Customize the `URL` variable in the script to point to your preferred source of COVID-19 statistics.

3. The script will fetch the latest data and notify you with statistics for each state or region.
## Configuration
