Abstract
This module is part of a Introduction to Data Science course that covers the different parts of the data science process: data acquisition, cleaning, exploratory data analysis, and modeling. The COVID-19 pandemic has created much interest in public health data, as well as interest in visualization of all types of data. Public health data has a set of challenges that is unique to health data, with HIPAA laws, and real time collection of data. With COVID-19, the challenges are particularly amplified, as data collection and statistics collected are constantly changing in response to feedback from labs, hospitals, drug companies, and other constituents.
