Informatics Data Analysis PowerPoint Presentation with Speaker Notes

According to the analysis done, some ages are susceptible to the dangerous virus while other ages are not. Even in counties where the number of cases is high, like Miami, only a certain age is highly infected. It is clear from the side-side bar graph which has been generated that the age groups which are highly affected are young and the elderly. It can be seen that in all 50 cities, it is either the elderly, those who are above 60 years or the children, those who are below 18 years are highly infected. However, it is also important to note that children below 18 years are susceptible to the virus more than the elderly above 60. To mention the figures, in a city like Miami, the total number of those infected is 299, the number of children affected is 170, while that of the elderly persons affected is 81. In another city, Jacksonville, the total number of people infected is 322, the number of children infected is 93, while those of the elderly persons is 149.

The age groups which seem somehow resistant to the dangerous virus are those aging between 19-30 years and 31- years. It is worth noting that in all 50 cities, the number of youths aging between 19-30 infected by the virus is less than 20 per city. In some cities Indianapolis and Philadelphia, there is no youth aging between 19-30 years is infected with the virus. In Omaha, no one aging between 19 and 60 has been infected with the virus.

This scenario can be connected to the immune system of the human being. The elderly generally have a weak immune system making them easily susceptible to being infected with any disease (Simon et al., 2015). The children also, their immune system is yet to be firm enough to fight some of the diseases. Those who are between 19-30 years have the strongest immune system; that is why they are not susceptible to the virus; however dangerous it may be. Those aging between 31-60 have a relatively strong immune system but not like those aging between 19-30 years.

The prevalence per age demographic is as follows:

a. <18 …….0.43 =43%

b. 19-30……0.07=7%

c. 31-60……0.17=17%

d. 61+……0.36=36%

After evaluating the data, it can be deduced that the elderly and the children are susceptible to diseases due to their weak immune system; hence, they should be given priority whenever a vaccination is given out for any disease. The organization should also consider directing its resources to those aging below 18 years and those aging above 60.
