November 6, 2020 \u2013 To help provide a complete picture of COVID-19 in Wyoming, the University of Wyoming\u2019s Wyoming Survey and Analysis Center (WYSAC) has developed an interactive data visualization tool to track attitudes, behaviors and cases surrounding the pandemic.<\/p>\n
Users can explore state- and county-level case data, as well as Wyomingites\u2019 attitudes on wearing masks; trusting news sources; support levels for COVID-19-related policies; and much more from recurring public opinion surveys in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur tool allows visitors see, side by side, what people think about the pandemic, how it\u2019s changing our daily lives and the community health impact in real time, with case data updated every day,\u201d says Jessica Schillinger, WYSAC\u2019s web and graphic designer.<\/p>\n
The website hosts up-to-date Wyoming COVID-19 data, as well as data visualizations of WYSAC\u2019s recurring COVID-19 survey of Wyoming residents — currently in its 10th iteration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that this tool will provide a centralized hub for residents, media, and local and state health officials to find information about the current state of COVID-19 in Wyoming,\u201d says Brian Harnisch, senior research scientist in charge of the survey data at WYSAC. \u201cIn addition to current case information in the state, users can see and explore trends in public opinion surrounding COVID-19 in Wyoming since the beginning of the pandemic in March.\u201d<\/p>\n
