COVID-19 and Data Visualization
There is a lot of information coronavirus infections coming from every direction these days, and some of the most useful information comes from research institutes at universities. The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota has compiled a list of organizations that are taking COVID data from around world and creating graphs, charts, and maps that are easy for users to understand and even manipulate. Some have made the datasets ready to download so that coders can make their own visualizations. My favorites are the University of Virginia, the University of Washington, and Johns Hopkins.
