# NOT RUN {
 newcases = covid19$newcases
 
 # This ts varies periodically every 7 days. 7 days can't be precisely represented 
 # in  the unit of year bcz some years has 365 days and others has 366. So, here we 
 # use  the date number as the time unit--the num of days lapsed since 1970-01-01. 
 
 datenum = as.numeric(covid19$date) 
 o       = beast(newcases, start=min(datenum), deltat=1, freq=7)
