Infographic:

Why I chose this topic:

I chose this topic because I wanted my topic to be relevant to today, and covid-19 is obviously a very relevant thing in today’s society. I chose to present my data in an infographic because I thought that the data I had collected would suit an infographic very well. I was also curious as to how to create an infographic, and how to use colors, shapes, and symbols to create something both informative and aesthetically pleasing. I collected data from a variety of sources, and to keep the comparison fair I compared the flu statistics for 2018 in Canada, to the covid statistics from 2020 in Canada.
