Assuming that we want to understand the proportional impact on countries, use a ratio such as the number of deaths per 1 million people rather than the raw number of deaths, to adjust for population differences.If we want to compare the number of deaths due to COVID-19 per country, both in terms of magnitudes and patterns of change over time, the following design choices seem appropriate: Nevertheless, working with the best data that’s available, we must do what we can to make sense of it. It’s important to recognize whenever we display this data that country comparisons will never be entirely reliable. The integrity of the data from country to country differs to a significant degree and does so for many reasons. This problem is no doubt occurring in every country. Medical personnel are focused on saving lives more than recording data in a particular way, which is understandable. If someone with COVID-19 suffers from pneumonia as a result and then dies, what gets recorded as the cause on the death certificate: COVID-19 or pneumonia? Clear procedures aren’t currently in place. Even here in the United States, many deaths due to COVID-19 are never recorded. The call is routed to the person’s Echo device and to the Alexa app, where you can see each other.I believe that the objectives of displays like this can be achieved in simpler, more accessible ways.īefore proposing an approach that works better, let’s acknowledge that country comparisons of deaths from COVID-19 are fraught with data problems that will never be remedied by any form of display. Tap on the contact you want to call and then tap on the camera icon to place a video call.
You’ll see the names of contacts who use and have registered with the Alexa app.
Tap on the Conversations icon and then tap on the Contacts icon at the top. If not, download it from Apple’s App Store or Google Play.įire up Alexa on your iPhone or Android phone. You should already have the Alexa app as it’s needed to set up your Echo. You don’t need an Echo Show with its display screen, you can just use your mobile phone instead. Amazon Alexaĭo you have an Amazon Echo smart speaker? Then you can make and receive video calls through Amazon’s Alexa app. WhatsApp also supports Windows and Macs, so you can use the software to send and receive video calls through your computer. Tap on the video camera icon and your video call starts immediately. You’ll see a list of contacts who already have WhatsApp installed and are ready and waiting for you to call them. After you launch the app, tap on the Calls icon at the bottom and then tap on the Contacts icon in the upper right. Another free messaging app for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices, WhatsApp lets you text someone, make a voice call, or place a video call.
