Covid-19 resources

A helpful set of links.

I follow mostly through worldometer.

Visualize the trends highlighting a country or state and compared to others.

New York Times compares which countries have flattened the curve.

New York Times resource per county in the US.

New York Times again showing how deaths surged in the city. Definitely worse than the flu (you idiotic deniers).

A detailed article about Italy.

Possibly a good news source from experts in the field.

Where do people normally die? I wonder how many are in hospitals versus elsewhere. Here are some answers.

A source for Massachusetts deaths and their demographics. The state gateway to info.

When will states reopen?

New York Times shows five models and their predictions for the US. Having watched Italy, I don't agree with any of them. Italy shows a plateau of two weeks and a long, slow decline that is taking longer than 3 weeks. The US, as of 4/24/20, is still in the plateau phase. I don't think any of them have the plateau long enough or the decline slow enough.

A timeline for an interesting source. Lots of data and charts from a writer who was very influential in lockdowns.

Is this an indication that social distancing and lockdowns worked: slowdown in Seattle before anywhere else.

Brief summary of two covid-related autopsies.

FACTCHECKING RESOURCE

When the crisis abates, there should be a commission to investigate what happened and what measures should have been taken to avoid what was avoidable in this disaster. The 9/11 commission did a candid job, but what are the chances that a covid commission will be at liberty to be as candid with Trump as president?
