Coronavirus Cases in Massachusetts The Massachusetts Department of Public Health for the first time released the number of COVID-19 cases by each city and town in the state. Originally we planned on presenting a visualization of these cases by county, since that was the only form in which this data was presented, but now we can specify it to tell a different story. In terms of cleaning this data set, we would generate a calculated field to round out every decimal value for the rate of cases in each town. GOV-Q4-2019 This chart is a list of U.S Governors and their corresponding states. The column that reads MOE stands for margin of error. Margin of Error is a statistic calculating a random sampling error in the results of a survey. The higher the number the less likely the result of the survey reflects the entire population of that state as a whole. A substantial amount of people have been discounted from the survey. Public Schools in Boston, 2018 - 2019 Below is part of the chart of public schools in Boston during the year between 2018 and 2019. The data contains key factors such as school names, locations and types. In this case, we could categorize the datasets by their type or location.We want to know how people working in public schools have been affected by the coronavirus and their opinions on Baker’s actions during the pandemic. By using and analyzing the data, we want to see if it reflects the hypothesis or the trend as shown above. Interview Sources
After combing through the internet for more data sets, we came out slightly empty handed. There was not too much data specifically on Governor Baker or his ratings. Therefore, we are looking to turn to personal opinions and anecdotes for more information on the situation. Our next step in our process is to start conducting interviews to help round out our understanding of the situation and test our hypothesis of whether or not Baker’s response to the pandemic has in fact caused his approval ratings to drop.
