Hi all, thought you might be interested in this blog post from MSF epidemiologist, Larissa.
Partly, because of her description of how maps are useful in an outbreak: "Maps are really useful when you’re trying plan a response as they can help the team see where they might need to focus their efforts: they can help us get to the source of an outbreak, faster, or help us see places that aren’t affected yet but are at risk, so we can get preventative measures in place, like organising a vaccination campaign." And, partly, because R4EPIs is a cooll open source software project to build a library of standard, context-specific analysis tools (in R) for outbreaks and emergencies, meaning epis can analyse their data and get the necessary information to those that need it faster and in a more coherent way...
