There are a lot of flaws with the visualizations of the infections. But using choropleth representations would need a population reference no ? I'm genuinely curious, should the range be reflective of the population with the series the infections ?
It could then be enhanced with deaths per infections in certain regions, which could be further enchanced with distance to hospitals.
I sound like an ass right now but the data is here, we should use it properly to help, and with people like yourself, maybe it would be better than whats being given right now
- Waterluvian 7y agoYou'd need to normalize the data against area but not necessarily a population reference. You're just showing how prevalent an attribute is relative to other areas. Honestly, it's tempting. I should dust off QGIS or Leaflet and try a few examples. But to speak candidly, I'd probably much rather play Lego with my kid tonight.
