COVID-19: Our Memory

In the book "The Disaster Profiteers," John C. Mutter wrote, "While the wealthy can avoid disasters by staying away from them, the poor become trapped in poverty traps or slip even deeper into these traps." COVID-19 was one of the most critical events that showed disaster inequality. To investigate the societal effect of COVID-19, I participated in the hackathon using public COVID-19 data. Proving disaster inequality and capturing mobile people’s needs utilizing statistical correlation analysis, text mining, and news media archiving, our data collection and analysis won an award.
