Revelation and Exploration for COVID-19 Data: Visual Data Insights™ and an InfoGeographic Atlas
A COVID-19 Tableau dashboard posted at the LinkedIn Data Visualization Group was underinforming and visually disappointing. Let me show you what can be done better with the SuperPower tool of SAS® ODS Graphics, applying my (software-independent) principles of communication-effective use of graphics tools and of color to COVID-19 data for 2020 to 2023.
See maps of COVID-19 measures (population, case counts, mortalities, case rates, and mortality rates) for all of the countries in the world, or a continent, or a region. The project includes scatter plots and fits looking for the relationship between counts or rates and fifteen other data elements for those countries.
Innovations make map-based information accessible in ways never before available. Brief summary of features of the web-enabled InfoGeographic Atlas is impossible. The best introduction is to see it.
