Part of this class requires you to select data related to some aspect of COVID-19. This data can include cases, deaths, vaccine status, etc. The specific data set of choice is compltely up to you and the organization from which you download the data is of your choosing. However, the goal of this project is to think about how to leverage geovisual analytics to visualize some spatial aspect of COVID-19. The results of that investigation will be used to make a formal response to Healing the Health of Humanity International (H3I). H3I is a gloablly-based non-profit, non-denominational, apolitical, and non-governmental organization whose mission is to heal humanity. This formal response will present geovisual solutions on how H3I can best allocate funds to help direct COVID-19 relief measures. 

While you are free to find COVID-19 data on your own we have compiled the list below of data resources that you may find helpful for this course. As mentioned on this web page, this is not an exahustive listing of COVID-19 data sources but should be enough to get you started on finding useful data. Once you have identified appropriate data, download it and begin examining its contents.

This is a listing of various organizations that include download portals for COVID-19 data. No attempt has been made in curating this list in terms of an agency's authority, accuracy, or timeliness in collecting, updated, or releasing any of the COVID-19 data. An agency's inclusion in this list does not warrant endorsement of any kind with respect to this class or its assignments. Get to know the data before using it. There are dozens of other data download portals that were not included in this list.
