<p>Interesting map!!! Would be nice if they would provide a little
bit of information with it on what the vulnerability actually is
and what the points are (communities? suburbs/villages?),
especially for the layman coming across the map.</p>
<p>Regards</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It is definitely useful, and many teams
are doing it right now in a few countries. The COVID-19
crisis has taken the demand and use of geospatial data to
an unprecedented level in epidemiology, the management of
health emergencies and governance. In fact, there is no
choice, it is a matter of life and death. However, it is
key that research is carried out by professionals, in a
collaborative and multidisciplinary way. It must also be
linked decision-making by the government and partners. <o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Such
data is certainly useful. With sufficient data one
can model spatial growth with time. I think it may
give an insight into areas that are most vulnerable
to pandemics especially when included with other
data like population density, housing types,
proximity to health facilities, sanitation,
demographics etc. A lot of it is common sense but
mapping it in a GIS environment with multicriteria
assessment can give alot of insight into spatial
vulnerability. The difficulty is usually in
collating the discrete datasets because they are
often held by different organisations but it
certainly isn't futile. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
