  • A bullet point list of key facts, including:
  • A bar graph
    • Create a bar graph comparing the prevalence of your chosen comorbidity in your focal city to three other communities. (Use the data provided in COVID-19 Comorbidities.)
    • Be sure to properly label the x- and y-axes!
  • A summary
    • This can be written as either a few bullet points or a short paragraph.
    • Summarize what residents in your focal city should know about coronavirus and the focal comorbidity.
    • What steps that can be taken to prevent the comorbidity and reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus?
