Should I Go Outside? A Visual

/

Researches created a visual to help people make informed decisions as communities re-open during the pandemic. The group has a consulting firm that helps organizations assess risk, and the visual is a representation of their work.

The COVID-19 Risk Index uses color coding to identify the likelihood that you’ll contract the virus during various activities, such as visiting the hospital, grocery shopping, or going to the dentist (which I did yesterday).

Discussion:

  • How effective do you find the visual for helping you assess risk? On what criteria do you base your analysis?

  • What, if anything, is missing from the index? How could you adapt the tool for local regions?
