This project was created as a response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Utilizing mortality data from ourworldindata.org and population data from population.un.org I analyzed the worldwide mortality and testing rates of Covid-19. This data was then presented visually in a line graph.

This project is ongoing and will be updated as the Covid-19 pandemic continues. It currently only holds data from the middle of March until the end of April. New data is compiled daily since I first completed it and will be updated in the future to reflect this additional data. Further, this project has the potential to be expanded based on data analyzed.

As of 07-27-2020: The analysis and plot of Deaths per cases has been updated to include the past three months.

Thank you David for your assisting me throughout this project and helping me learn R.
