Description: These data visualizations illustrate the relationship between a country's distance from the equator (absolute latitude) and their COVID-19 cases and deaths.

Tip: To analyze how outliers may be skewing the results, try removing countries that appear to be outliers from the filter panel. For example, try removing the United States from the dashboards. 

Conclusion: There is quite a lot of variability in the number of total cases and deaths across the different countries. Overall, the general trend is positive which is outlined by the upward-sloping regression lines. This suggests countries farther from the equator (higher absolute latitude) have more cases and deaths. However, this correlation is very weak as there are numerous countries both close to the equator (ex. Brazil, Peru, India, and Mexico) and far from the equator (ex. UK, Russia, and Canada) that appear to have many cases and deaths.
