World-wide COVID-19 Outbreak Data Analysis and Prediction
October 18, 2021
COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in Wuhan, China and has spread to more than 50 countries. WHO declared COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on 30 January 2020. Naturally, a rising infectious disease involves fast spreading, endangering the health of large numbers of people, and thus requires immediate actions to prevent the disease at the community level. Therefore, CoronaTracker was born as the online platform that provides latest and reliable news development, as well as statistics and analysis on COVID-19.
This paper is done by the research team in the CoronaTracker community and aims to predict and forecast COVID19 cases, deaths, and recoveries through predictive modelling. The model helps to interpret patterns of public sentiment on disseminating related health information, and assess political and economic influence of the spread of the virus.
