Florida vs. California: Open vs. Closed

I was asked by a friend in California to compare his closed state to an open state, say…Florida. He wanted to know how to two states compared, I was curious as well.

Below is some comparison work I did. All the Data I used comes from ‘The Covid Tracking Project by The Atlantic’ I use this Data because it has been on par with the data I have used in my other analytics. My friend did point out to me that the data from The Atlantic does not 100% line up with John Hopkins University. I will probably look into that in the future and do a comparison of data post.

Keep in mind there is still many variables at play here. There are tons of numbers I can look at and formulas I can play with. There are also a lot of formulas I need to research. But….Its lunch time on a Saturday and I’m ready to Send It on my bike.

This will be a topic I will be coming back to in the future.

Screenshots of my work are below. But you can also download the PDF HERE
