Visualizing the 1918 Flu Pandemic Across England and Wales.

To force myself to learn how to use D3 I produced an animation showing the three waves of mortality that spread across England and Wales during the Spanish flu pandemic, in contrast with the broad, single wave that moved through the United States. This work was done in collaboration with Dr. Rosalind Eggo, who also provided the data.

You can watch the U.K. animation here, the U.S. animation here, and read Dr. Eggo's original paper here.
