COVID-19 Data
Why data matters? why caution is necessary for using data?
Many researchers around the world have dedicated themselves to collect COVID-19 data. In the beginning, little is known about the basic reproduction rate(R0), the case fatality, and even the exact number of deaths. For instance, Japan did not want to count the Diamond Prince cases, France did not want to count the nursing home infections, and China continuously changed the criteria counting infections and deaths. The temptation of agnosticism would be stronger than the painful effort of scientific inquiry.
However, ARIC members believe that data contains more information than we imagine. We decide to collect data from different sources such as UN WHO, Johns Hopkins University, European CDC, Oxford University's policy tracker, etc. We merge these COVID-19 related data with socio-economic variables to help researchers analyze the relationship between COVID-19 with politics, economy, medical resources, or even corruption.
