With most of the year being all about the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of news when it comes to your risk has been somewhat conflicting. So I decided to create a chart/ table to help people figure out how much risk one might put on themself for covid-19.
How the chart works
The chart is broken down into 3 main shapes/ categories:
Yellow boxes are entities
Blue diamonds are relationships
Green bubbles are tuples
Along with the chart I have provided a table to where people could put in their responses to the tuples, and with that, we can deduce whether or not you would have a greater risk for covid-19.
What the chart means
Patients:
Physical Well Being: Seeing whether you got a strong body, eat the right foods, and exercise regularly
Current Health: How your body feels, in terms of having lungs, a good heart, and everything on the inside works good
Race: The race of a person can affect their risk for Covid-19, so it is imprtant to know
Age: The age really helps because many younger people will end up fine if they contract the virus
Gender: Gender is a category that can help identify who is exactly getting infected
Occupation:
Time at work: Just how long are you at a different place
Health Insurance: Are you covered for if you are sick/hurt
Time with co-workers: Being with multiple people will increase your risk of being infected
Current Prevention Guidelines: Does your place of employment require masks, gloves, social distancing, etc.
Remote Work: Are you able to work from home
Geographical Location:
Country: The country you live in determines whether or not you are at a risk or greater risk
City/Town: This specifies your location and your risk of contracting the virus
Population: If your area has a high population, you are more at risk
Weather/ Climate: Like the flu, Covid-19 spreads well in colder weather
Current Risk Status: Is your area going through a surge in covid-19 cases
Hospitals:
Distance form home: Is your hospital far from your home
ICU beds available: If you have the virus, you will be put in the ICU, so it is important to know if they have spots available.
Current Occupancy: This is important to know because you do not want to show up to a hospital to learn that it is at full capacity
Health Insurance Compatibility: Does your hospital accept your health insurance
Staff on the clock: Are there enough workers to take of you and the people at your hospital
Behavior:
Works Out/ Exercise: Are you an avid gym goer, or do you not work out entirely. This plays an effect on your physical health.
Go out a lot: Are you doing chores everyday, and are you outside your home a lot?
Follow health guidelines: Are you wearing a mask, and socially distancing?
Travel/ Vacations: If you travel or go on vacations a lot, you may either be at risk at the places you are going, or you may bring the virus back to your home
Parties: Do you party a lot? If you do, your risk goes up drastically
Risk:
Contact with people: Family or not, physical contact with people with raise your risk of the covid-19 virus.
Asymptomatic?: If you are asymptomatic, you may spread covid-19 to people without knowing it
Followed Guidelines: If you follow the guidelines, you are less likely to contract covid-19 when compared to someone who doesn't
Already infected with the virus: If you have been infected earlier and are healthy now, your risk of contracting the virus again has greatly decreased
Underlying Conditions: If you are someone who has a weakened immune system, or has current illnesses, your risk of not only contracting covid-19, but dying from it has increased.
