In this project, we explore whether there is a correlation between NYC rats and the NYC flu. Whether it be on the train platform or sidewalks, we always see the rats running along. But do we ever think about the impact these rats can have on our health? By using NYC flu data and the number of rats sighted in NYC from 2017-2019, this project tries to see if there is a positive association between the two.
