There are many skills that are important to be able to analyze data one of the biggest things is clarity for instance if we were to say that there were 10 COVED deaths what does that mean exactly does this mean that they died because of coved or does that mean that they died and they had coved. This is quite important because this will add to the death count unnecessary making the problem worse than it is. other aspects that are important is understanding the context of the data so that someone can replicate your results to ensure that the information is correct. Critical thinking is important so that someone can determine if the info is accurate or if it should be thrown out. Open mindedness is also important to see the problem from all different aspects.

For the kern county COVID dashboard I do not know whether I like the green background. one thing that I like about it is the chart is that it shows a variety of information based on what you want to see. One thing that I do not like about it is that the colors clash with each other. The global COVID tracker is quite simple it shows you new cases and new deaths and that is it. It also gives you a map that shows the number of deaths per country. Things that I do not like about this set up is that it does not give you a lot of information and the map and can be misleading. My favorite one is the kern county map because it gives you all the information so you can make your own decisions.

The more information that is presented the better conclusion we can make. different governments and organizations need to use all different types of Covid dashboards to determine what would be the best plan of action. It is crucial for government organizations to be able to determine what needs to get done as different situations pop up. Hopefully, we will have a vaccine that will come out this year. this will mean that we will have one of the biggest logistical nightmares that mankind has ever seen. depending on how we decide to distribute the vaccine is important to know where the hardest hit areas and who are those who are most susceptible to the disease. these are the first vaccines that should be distributed when they come out to the public. Businesses also need this information because they need to be able to predict what the situation will look like in their area so that will be better prepared to do business. If we can predict if Covid will hit an area particularly hard than other businesses may want to stock up on necessities items that people need and quickly sell off those items that will be unused. Information like this is crucial to our client because he needs to be able to predict the local government will do to better prepare for the situation. If there is a trend where Covid cases are spiking up that it is likely they will shut down in person dining therefore, it is crucial to come up with a plan to sell pizza online.
