training data building and features selection

Could you please explain how the training data was merged, and how you selected the features for the model?

i see that The code in OutsmartingOutbreaks_StarterNotebook.ipynb is only matching based on spatial proximity (latitude/longitude) but not considering the temporal aspect (Month/Year),
