The data I collected is about COVID-19 cases and deaths in Spain and Italy. First, I would like to share the cases in Spain and Italy. If you look at my graphs down below, you can see that there are 220,325 confirmed cases in Spain and there are 214,457 confirmed cases in Italy.

I don’t think the cases are very accurate because there are probably people that are infected but don’t show any symptoms. There are also people who just don’t follow the rules and the government hasn’t found them yet.

There are countries that have more cases than in other countries. I think this is happening is because of many things. First of all, public events. In some countries, public events might not be canceled. Another thing is population density. In some countries, people are cramped together. In other countries, the country might be popular with tourists. the last reason is simply that people are not following the rules. People might not be wearing masks or people just don’t want to go to quarantine.

Now, I would like to share the deaths and mortality rates in Spain and Italy. In Spain, 25,857 people died. That is 0.1% of the population and 1.2% of the COVID cases. In Italy, 29,684 people died. That is also 0.1% of the population and 1% of the COVID cases. You can see my graphs down below.

Finally, I would like to talk about “flattening the curve.” In Spain, the cases are going down. This means the government has successfully contained the virus. You can see a graph I made down below. The cases in Italy, however, are still going up. the good news is that there’s not a huge spike rising.
