An enormous amount of data related to #Covid is recorded daily. The data, despite its shortcomings, can offer insights that may otherwise get drowned by the din of the competing narratives.<br /><br />We aim to analyse Covid #testing data and new infections from January 1 to June 10 across all states with over a crore people. Using this dataset, we will do a comparative study across states of the different facets of the #secondwave, including severity of infection, timing of the peak, government's readiness before the wave started and its response after. <br /><br />This will shed light on how different states were affected. We'll also look at potential data manipulation.<br /><br />Contribute to our #NLSena project: https://www.newslaundry.com/sena?ref=social<br /><br />--<br /><br /><br />Follow and engage with us on social media:<br />Facebook: https://facebook.com/newslaundry<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/newslaundry<br />Instagram: https://instagram.com/newslaundry
