While there is an abundance of information and raw data on the Coronavirus, getting what we need to know from these datasets requires a skillset and comfort with data that not everyone possesses.
At Narrative Science we believe data should be accessible to everyone. This virus has already impacted or will impact people from all education levels across the globe. To be certain, it will not discriminate based on data literacy. This means everyone should have the ability to understand how it’s impacting the world.
Humans were not meant to communicate vital information using charts and graphs. There shouldn’t be an extra step of visual interpretation to get insight about life and death.
We communicate through language, and therefore we should display data in a way that people understand.
That’s why we took some of this data and published a PowerBI Report that combines visualizations with plain-English stories that anyone can read and understand, regardless of your comfort with data analysis and visualization.
We did this through Data Storytelling and our product Quill.
The data we pulled for this Data Storytelling example came from the Kaiser Family Foundation COVID-19 Coronavirus Tracker.
