Covid Case Counts and Mandates

Project for CSE 583: COVID, Mandates, etc.

Introduction

This is a softeware that takes the latest Covid-19 case counts data updated by Center for Disease Control(CDC) and shows it with the Covid-19 related Mandates in the United States. With this tool, we can see how effective a certain mandate is in terms of increased case counts.

Includes

1. A choropleth of USA to see the overview of monthly positive Covid-19 counts of each state.

2. Line graphs of states to compare (cases/100K).

Team Members

• Zhaowen Guo
• Jee Hoon Han
• Oliver Li
• Gabriel Wisswaesser

Example

• Choropleth of the United States

• Line graphs of states with when certain mandates were implemented

Software dependencies

Data Source

Covid-19 Case Counts

• Covid-19 data repository held by CDC

Covid-19 State and County Policy

• State and county orders held by HealthData.gov

Limitation

Although the softeware is designed to continuously update the data from the data source, the repository may not be continuously maintained beyond December 2020. The population data is from December 2020, before the new census data. The software is coded for the data of the year 2020. Once it's 2021, it might not properly represent the data.
