My name is Raleigh Anne Butler and I am a graduate student in the Journalism department at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

This site primarily seeks to explore the data behind the novel coronavirus / COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 in the Champaign area of IL. It will analyze and discuss various data discrepancies found in the area.

While constructing this site, I’d also like to provide some background information into “What is COVID-19?” “How is COVID-19 spread?” “How do the vaccines work?” and other questions.

I highly recommend the below link for an in-depth guide to COVID-19 (no affiliation).
