According to the analysis done, the dangerous various has infected people in 50 cities between 2nd April 2017 and 28th April 2017. The top five cities with the highest number of infections are Jacksonville, Miami, Phoenix, Austin, and Houston. The number of cases per city is as follows. Jacksonville 322 cases, Miami 299 cases, Phoenix 289, Austin 281, and Houston 272. Jacksonville is the leading city, while the least affected cities are Omaha with three instances, Virginia Beach with 4 cases, Colorado and Philadelphia with five cases each, and Indianapolis with 7 cases.

The prevalence rate per 100000 people is 0.0485, which is the same as 4.85%. This is because the total number of those who have been infected with the dangerous virus is 4852. Averagely, 97 people in the 50 cities taken for the study have been infected by the virus. From the bar graph, it can also be seen that the virus is quickly spreading in other cities as compared to the rest. This can be connected to the containment measures that individual city has put in place. For example, in a county such as Omaha, only three people have been infected, while in a country such as Jacksonville, a total of 322 people have been infected by the disease.

There is a need to do another research study to understand why the disease is quickly spreading in other countries too fast as compared to the rest. They can be some hidden reasons which cannot be easily unearthed unless severe research is conducted in those cities. On matters concerning resource distribution, the top five cities should be given priority to tame the virus's spread. Before resource distribution, it's essential to understand the situation at the ground: the various prevention and curative measures that each city has put in place.

What can be deduced from the chart evaluation is that for the case of a dangerous virus which quickly spread, prevention or containment measures are better than curing the virus (Davies, 2008). That is why some counties, such as Omaha, that have put preventive measures in place have fewer infections while big cities such as Jacksonville are struggling with the high number of infections.

The bar graph showing the number of cases per city is shown below.
