Cholera Related Facebook Post Map

While Group 27 was reading the posts on Facebook, we started to get an idea of where the outbreak would likely have started and spread from. It was only after using a coordinate system and satellite imagery to visualize the data that we were able to see a clear picture of the data we collected. By looking at how the points are clustered around certain locations, seeing the paths that victims of the disease traveled on, and most importantly being able to determine the source of the outbreak helps immensely with analyzing the Facebook Post Map. In the map,  we made clear the locations where people were found dead, locations where infected people were last scene, and locations where infected people spent their time. The buildings and complexes that were shut down due to being hubs for the infection are also identified on the map. Paths that people had taken before being found in dead were also added to the map in hopes of finding the source of the disease.
