COVID 19 Data Visualization Project.

The goal of VAPOC (Visualization, Analysis and Prediction of COVID-19) project is to find out reasons as to why the black community is disproportionally impacted during the coronavirus pandemic. The VAPOC project combines neural network predictions with human centric situational awareness and data analytics to provide accurate, timely, and scientific strategy in combatting and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus plague in the black community. We believe that a combination of factors is responsible for the African Americans' susceptibility to the COVID-19. They hypothesize that pre-existing conditions, type of employment, and access to healthcare among other factors have a significant influence on the higher death rate of African Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their study is based on data visualization, pattern recognition, knowledge discovery, and scientific principles.
