To design a well communicative dashboard, we need to identify the major features we may include. Some of the preliminary features would be:
- Indicators
- The infections rate for selected region.
- Case analysis by sub-region
- Infection map
- The trajectory chart
For this project, I would rely on the data that most news used from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering. I intend to use the COVIDTracking repository, where it has the features I need to build the dashboard.
- Python 3.7.6 backend
- Dash plotting
- Heroku for deployment
