A picture is worth a thousand words. Forgive the cliché here, but no time is this more important than when you’re trying to articulate data findings to a non-technical audience. Many people won’t want to see a page crammed with numbers. Neat data visuals could be the difference between getting your point across and losing your audience to boredom and blank stares.

In this post I’ll show you how to visualise the global spread of COVID-19 using Google BigQuerie’s GeoViz tool. Visualisations of this type can be done in a multitude of ways, I find GeoViz to be fast and intuitive.

By the end of this post, you’ll have built a map visualising new COVID-19 infections globally across the last 7 days.
