Overall makes it waaay clearer, thanks @lynnlangit! My main concern is the equity vs pre-existing vulnerability metrics section. Let me know if we need to clarify further or add more details on the vulnerability metric we're using for CA (Healthy Places Index).

What do you think about this wording:
In progress: Converting vulnerability metric from CCVI to HPI, adding a way to compare death to infection rates across counties & researching best options for hosting on the web.

| This project aims to create data visualizations and zip code prioritizations to aid public health officials in deciding where and how to distribute the covid-19 vaccines and what equity metrics to use to track distribution. Since that's where we live, we're currently focused on California but can run a similar analysis on any of the 50 US states. Please reach out if you think your state or county would be interested to learn more about this project. | ||

Love this, 2 small tweaks.
- Minor typo: twtter --> twitter. Can also add my handle @leggomymego if you think that will make it easier for ppl than going to my profile for it.
- Re: " equity metrics" maybe something like:
We also analyze each county's pre-existing vulnerability to high covid mortality rates based on indicators such as health care access, housing, socioeconomic status & others.
In terms of equity, we're not yet tracking it. Metrics are still being developed, data is sparse when available, and counties & states are adopting different metrics. I plan to collect equity metric resources in a separate repo for Public Health department's consideration.

Good call on chunking. I talked to Navid and we need to add more sources and update frequency and restructure a bit: grouping it into the CA state data, general covid data, and vulnerability metrics so far: CCVI & HPI. What do you think about leaving this section as is for this PR?

Love the grouping, that makes it much more clear! I don't think we have ML currently, just core data sci analytics & data viz. Should we leave this as just "Technologies" for now?
