Covid-19 Data Visualization Website

We hear all sorts of numbers and statistics about the Covid-19 pandemic, these numbers are hard to visualize. This website can be used to see and understand Covid-19 data all in one place.

Inspiration

In the news, there's a lot of statistics and numbers about the Covid-19 pandemic. In terms of cases, we see a lot of data visualizations but not much in terms of vaccines and vaccine distribution. Therefore, we aimed to help other people understand the vaccination progress and the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic all in one website.

What it does

This website has graphs about vaccine distributions, vaccines left to get to herd immunity, Covid-19 positive test rates, and daily cases, deaths, and hospitalizations over time. It also includes interactive maps that show the percent of the population vaccinated, as well as the number of cases in each state. It also has links to donate to Covid-19 relief funds.

How we built it

Our graphs were made from Python using csv files taken from the Covid Tracking Project. We used Python with folium and data from the CDC website to create our interactive maps and converted them to HTML. The website was built using bootstrap code that we modified to display our maps and charts.

Challenges we ran into

We struggled with finding good, clean data that we could use for the charts and graphs. We also tried to make a Covid-19 cases by county interactive map but we could not figure out how to use the Geojson file that the data was within.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to finish most of the website and create interesting visualizations of data that we encounter often in our current lives.

What we learned

New ways to code and create information accessible.

What's next for Covid-19 Data Visualization Website

Adding counties cases maps and more accessible visualizations.
