Image: Jan-Peter Kasper (University of Jena) - Dr Michael Böhme turns numbers of Covid-19 cases in Thuringia into graphics Since the first Covid-19 cases began to appear in Jena at the beginning of March, Dr Michael Böhme has been recording data on cases of infection published by the city and presenting them graphically. What started as a result of his private scientific interest has now become an important source of information and the site has about 2,500 hits a day. In an interview, Böhme, who works at the Institute for Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, explains why a detailed collection of data is important and what can be mathematically derived from such graphics. You prepare coronavirus statistics for the city. How did this come about? Like many others, I became interested in this topic due to the reports from China. But I have become personally aware of the topic at least since the first confirmed cases in Thuringia at the beginning of March.
