COVID-19 Data Visualization for New York City

This project provides a comprehensive set of data visualizations for COVID-19 statistics in New York City. It includes time series analyses, geographic plots, and demographic breakdowns of case rates, death rates, and hospitalization rates.

Features

1. Time Series Visualizations:

   • Daily new cases, deaths, and hospitalizations
   • Cumulative cases, deaths, and hospitalizations
   • Interactive date range selection

2. Geographic Visualizations:

   • COVID-19 case rates by NYC borough
   • COVID-19 case rates by ZIP code

3. Demographic Visualizations:

   • Age group analysis of case rates, hospitalization rates, and death rates
   • Gender analysis of COVID-19 statistics

Dependencies

This project requires the following Python libraries:

• pandas
• matplotlib
