Inspiration

Due to the coronavirus crsis, we wanted to see how government officials' responses affect the number of cases in that particular country. We wanted to do this to provide guidance for government, to help them make better decisions.

What it does

This uses live data from Twitter as well as Google News to analyze articles and tweets from public officials and analyzed them using sentiment analysis. From this, if compares it to Covid cases and shows the growing negative attitude towards this emerging crisis.

How We built it

We built it using various Google Cloud products as well as external ones. In regards to Google Cloud, we utilized Google NPL, Google Data Studio, Google Google News API. We used Domain.com for the website.

Challenges We ran into

We ran into challenges in importing the data into data studio which was resolved by transforming the data from JSON into a CSV.

Accomplishments that We're proud of

We are proud of being able to utilize APIs and live data to work towards information that can be beneficial to all people.
