Happy Data
Hopeful views of the world through data and drawings.
These days, it's nearly impossible to escape thinking about COVID-19. Everywhere we look—from headlines to grocery lines—we're reminded of this pandemic's painful disruptions, and the suffering of countless individuals around the world.
As we continue to self-isolate at home, we often find ourselves daydreaming out the window, imagining what the future might hold.
Inspired by these windowside daydreams (and with the hope to bring a little sunlight to others too), we're searching far and wide for Happy Data: small but mighty numbers that, while insignificant to the more urgent statistics about the virus' toll, help us to picture a new reality post-pandemic.
Heartwarming, surprising, encouraging—we hope these numbers brighten your day and help you cope with this unprecedented moment.
