PrintThe focus of our course is the use of geovisual analytics to analyze patterns in COVID-19 data. It is important, however, to remember that behind all of those numbers lie millions and millions of human stories. For the past several years (and still ongoing), millions and millions of people across the world faced an uncertain, and often dangerous, future.
We encourage you to regularly take some time to connect with some of these stories. We will highlight, over the next couple of weeks, some stories about some of the real people behind the data.
WHO Stories
This web page, created by the World Health Organization, was developed to share some of the stories of the millions of individuals who were directly or indirectly affected by some aspects of COVID-19. Start this week by selecting a couple of stories to connect with the people who are part of the lasting effects of the pandemic.
Assignment
