No one knew at the start of 2020 that it would become a year unlike any other in modern time. Activities that we previously considered innocuous, like meeting up with friends at a restaurant or attending a large industry conference, suddenly become potential super spreader events. We adjusted our behavior to avoid spreading the disease to friends and family, and could only try to wait patiently for the cases to subside or better yet, a vaccine.
Covid-19 data collection methods differ across the world in varying ways, but the crux of the analysis remains the same in that we want to make it over the top of the curve and try to get back to some sense of normalcy. I analyzed Covid-19 data trends by both cases and deaths across the globe, the US, and also across the US State of Texas, where I live.
