Final Project for Data Skills- Covid-19 edition
The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected not only the world economy, but our local neighborhoods. Using COVID-19 data pulled from the TN Department of Health, I have pulled together the data from the top 5 counties in Tennessee. Top 5 due to the majority of cases in total being from these areas. In the Chart above, you can see that though the case rate is high in these counties, the death rate is low. This brings high hopes to those who fear the destructive path of this strain of virus. The virus isn't causing mass destruction in Tennessee as it is in more metropolitan states.
Looking at the map, the majority of cases are in TN metropolitan areas. This widespread in Middle Tennessee is due to the larger population size. Shelby County also has a large population, also in a smaller area considering Memphis and the surrounding areas.
