Data Against COVID-19

You – clinicians, virologists, immunologists – are working around the clock to combat the epidemic. We – machine learners, bioinformaticians, epidemiologists, statisticians – are eager to help. This is the place to post your data and give us tasks: answer your questions, analyze your data, make predictions. Just remember that to help you, we need data. If you’re unsure where to begin,

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) – Statistics and Research

“We present information on the number of deaths and cases; on why we should focus on how quickly those numbers double, not on the numbers themselves; on the prevalence of testing, and why that is important for understanding the disease; and what we can and can’t know about how lethal COVID-19 really is. We’ll also explain where we get our data from and why.”

from https://ourworldindata.org/about: “Our World in Data and the SDG-Tracker are collaborative efforts between researchers at the University of Oxford, who are the scientific editors of the website content; and the non-profit organization Global Change Data Lab, who publishes and maintains the website and the data tools that make our work possible. At the University of Oxford we are based at the Oxford Martin Programme on Global Development.”

MakerMask

MakerMask is a source for science-based mask designs for community makers to combat the spread of COVID-19. It is important that we use the best information possible to help protect ourselves and our communities. The MakerMask designs use latex-free, water-resistant materials that are likely to provide improved protection over cotton and elastic. We need makers/sewists/helpers of all abilities to begin ramping up production to meet community needs.

COVID-19 Tracking and Projections

Allowing non technical users to compare their country with other situations around the world. We present configurable cumulative graph curves. We compare your countries current status with other countries who have already been at your level and show you where they’ve ended up. We are working on extending the comparison to work for regions within one country. The data is provided via JHU.

Why you must act now - By State

CovidActNow.org was created by a team of data scientists, engineers, and designers in partnership with epidemiologists, public health officials, and political leaders to help understand how the COVID-19 pandemic will affect their region.

This tool is built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response informed by best available data and modeling.

We built this tool to answer critically important questions such as:

What will the impact be in my region be and when can I expect it? How long until my hospital system is under severe pressure? What is my menu of interventions, and how will they address the spread of Coronavirus?

The COVID Tracking Project

The COVID Tracking Project collects and publishes the most complete testing data available for US states and territories.

Where to Safely Shop during Covid-19

A group of Cambridge residents have come together to help people decide where they can safely shop. The goal is to encourage businesses to comply with containment policies to minimize the spread of Covid-19 virus in our community, and help keep their customers and employees safe. See best practices, and better yet, sign this petition to get more PPE to grocery stores.
