- COVID-19 pandemic hit the global world harshly in 2020. It was reported that the first infections from SARS-Cov-2 were discovered in Wuhan, China. Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without acquiring special treatment. However , some will become seriosly ill and require medical attentions with death cases recorded across countries.
- The aim of this project is to investigate the spread and mortality rate of COVID-19 pandemic across countries globally. To determine the top 5 affected countries and their recovery capability
Raw data file on confirmed cases, death and recovery cases for all countries were sourced from https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data where it is updated on a daily basis.
