Suggested analytical angles

  • How did case and death rates diverge across continents over 2020 and 2021?

  • How does stringency index correlate with case trajectory?
  • Where did testing capacity most lag behind case growth?

What great submissions did

This brief was reconstructed from the dataset contents in 2026 as part of the Playground audit. The original June 2021 challenge brief was not preserved as a separate file in the source archive, so the analytical angles above are inferred from the column list. See the corresponding /challenges/ entry on datadna.onyxdata.co.uk for examples of how participants approached the data.
