Cases
The City of Chicago has compiled data on residents who have tested positive for the Covid19 virus. A case is a Chicago resident who has a positive PCR or antigen test.
The bars in this graph show the number of cases who have tested positive per day based on the day that they were tested, called the specimen collection date.
The line is the average number of cases per day based on the past 7 days. Using an average smooths out the dips that occur when testing numbers decrease on the weekends.
COVID-19 has impacted age, gender and race-ethnicity groups in Chicago differently. By monitoring the demographics of cases, Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) can provide resources where they are needed most.
Tasks:
Create:
1. A description and comparative evaluation of the Covid-19 positive residents of
Chicago with regards to age, gender and ethnicity.
2. An assessment of the apparent trends with respect to age, gender and ethnicity.
3. An assessment of which categories of persons require more city/municipal resources
to treat with the Covid-19 infection rate.
4. Recommendations for the health authorities of the City of Chicago.
