Statistic-Epidemiology

On the WHO website (https://www.who.int/csr/don/archive/disease/ebola/en/) ,you will find number of cases and deaths for those with Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As budding disease detectives, your mission is to create a data table of cases and deaths, then plot this information in a graph that shows cases and deaths on the date of each update (on the x-axis) and the count (actual numbers) on the y-axis. Create a table with dates, cases, and deaths. Here is a table with a few numbers but to give you an idea of the table I would like for you to create.  You will need to create your table with data from reports starting on Sept. 6th – the report issued Nov. 7th. The assignment will be due to Dr. Drenner on Wednesday, Nov 14th, via TURNITIN at 11:59 pm. Your graph can be either a bar graph (histogram) or a line graph. Your graph should show the data labels (numbers) and include a legend, title, and axes labels. Feel free to use either Word, PowerPoint, or Excel to make your graph (See the example below). Also, answer these questions about the graph and Ebola: The Natural and Human History of a Deadly Virus by David Quamman: 1. Does your graph show an increase, decrease, or both of Ebola cases and deaths? 2. Why? What is, do you think is going on in the region that accounts for the pattern you are seeing? 3. Based on what you have read in the book Ebola by David Quammen, what is the likely reservoir for ebola 4. The book outlined practices of villagers that facilitated the spread of ebola. Name 3. 5. What are some interventions discussed in the book that could help get the current ebola epidemic under control?
