Situation Covid

In these unprecedented times, we are all fearful for the well being of our friends and family. We obsess over the latest spread of the virus and are glued to our phones, trying to find the latest bit of information. Enter Situation Covid, the one stop place to catch up on the latest spread and statistics dealing with the Covid virus. 

Situation Covid allows the user to map the historic and current spread of the virus and to slice and dice the data in various ways. The application allows the user to zoom in to various states and counties in the US and display statistics on a number of dimensions such as number of deaths and infections, the rate per 100K population, death rates as a percentage of infection rates, current ongoing vaccine development and trials amongst other statistics. The application also lets the user view the trends across the country or various states and counties since January as well as future projections. 

Additionally, Situation Covid presents multiple animations showing the spread of the virus as well as the recent changes in infection and death rates. Lastly, the application also presents a curated list of the latest news stories and videos related to Covid so the user has a daily ‘Situation Room’ where they can get a high quality view of the spread of Covid. [Future Work]
