Former Florida data scientist creates competing coronavirus dashboard
Now there are dueling data dashboards to track the new coronavirus in Florida, New 6 partner Florida Today reports. Visually, the new COVID-19 dashboard has a striking resemblance to the Florida Department of Health's officials dashboard of new coronavirus data, although with darker, earthier color tones, and many more cases and deaths. Jones' site on Friday showed 77,799 "COVID-19 positive people," while the Florida Department of Health's dashboard showed 70,971 total cases, including 1,630 positive non-residents. Jones dubs her new dashboard โ www.FloridaCOVIDAction.com โ โA Peopleโs Dashboard for Florida during COVID-19,โ or the Florida COVID Community Action website. โWe put the data in context, clearly stating each variableโs limitations and caveats, for all the data on the site, including DOHโs data,โ Jonesโ press release said.
