Deep dive analysis of worldwide COVID-19 data regarding case and death trends.
According to Our World in Data, the actual death toll from COVID-19 is "likely to be higher than the number of confirmed deaths" due to limited testing and problems in the attribution of the cause of death. The difference between reported confirmed deaths and actual deaths varies by country.
Two CSV tables were created from the Covid-19 dataset using Excel
-
The deaths tables indicating deaths across diffrent regions in the world,the population,continent,date,location
-
The Vaccinations tables indicating vaccinations across diffrent regions in the world,the population, continent,date,location
The data was used to analyse ;
- Total Versus Population
- Highest death Count
- GLobal Numbers
- Percentage of people infected
- Comparison of infection rate and Population
- By Joining death table to vaccinations table to compare total people vaccinated versus the population
- SUM(),MAX(),AVG()
- OVER()
Creating view that was used for visualization in Tableau
- Joining the death and vaccinations table using location and date

The reason behind two files between COVID-19 vaccinations and deaths data for this starter project was for optimization and clarity purposes for certain queries.
