For week two(2) we were to work on two disease insight analysis. I and my team decided to work on Covid '19 in Africa and HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.

Data collection for this process was pretty cumbersome and not specific to what we looking for. We were able to source data from Kaggle, data.humdata.org and Africaopendata.org.
