Description of the Case Study
The Case Study presented in this article concerns the analysis of COVID-19 pandemic data.
Using Tableau, I created a series of interactive dashboards showing the evolution of the pandemic month by month, allowing users to explore the data in detail and better understand the impact of the virus on the population.
The dashboard was posted on my Tableau Public profile under the title “Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) – Lest We Forget” and can be accessed via this direct link: https://public.tableau.com/views/CoronavirusPandemicCOVID-19-LestWeForget/Covid-19
In the introductory tab (Introduction) contains all the details of the Case Study, with the possibility to export/print it in PDF and PowerPoint, while the summary tab (Summary) It is possible to get an overview of all the KPIs used, with the possibility of changing the date of comparison (day/month/year), which is set by default to the last month just passed.
KPIs used in the Case Study
To analyze the pandemic trend, I used the following KPIs:
New Cases (New Cases)
This KPI provides information on the spread of the virus and its impact during the selected month*, both globally and by individual nation/continent.
New Deaths (New Deaths)
This KPI helps to understand the severity of the virus and its effects on people’s health during the selected month*, both globally and by individual nation/continent.
New Vaccinations (New Vaccinations)
This KPI provides information on the effectiveness of vaccination efforts during the selected month*, both globally and at the individual nation/continent level.
Total Cases (Total Cases)
This KPI shows the total number of cases since the pandemic started with the ability to filter the search by individual country or continent.
Total Deaths (Total Deaths)
This KPI shows the total number of deaths since the pandemic started with the ability to filter the search by individual country or continent.
Total Vaccinations (Total Vaccinations)
This KPI provides the total number of vaccinations and the percentage of the population vaccinated since the start of the vaccination campaign, with the ability to filter the search by individual country or continent.
(*) By default, the last month just ended is always set, with the possibility of changing the time interval (day/month/year).
The pandemic and its aftermath, the importance of not forgetting
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted society, the economy, and global public health. It is essential not to forget the lessons learned and the consequences that this crisis has caused so that we are better prepared to face similar challenges in the future.
