Monitoring Infection Rates
The immediate data science work of the tracker focused on mining public and private datasets, combining them into one data dashboard and explorer, starting by aggregating and normalizing data from various sources including Narrativa, John Hopkins University, The Covid Tracking Project, The World Bank, United States Census Bureau, among others. As communities around the U.S. and world begin to reopen, COVID-19 infection rates are top of mind for many. Furthering Applied XL’s work to bring truth to media, health, and humanity, Applied XL expanded the COVID-19 Tracker to include data around infection rates and trends over time so people can better understand if conditions are improving where they live.
