Covid Act Now

This is a new site that gives a Covid risk rating based on five indicators: daily new cases, infection rate, test positivity, ICU headroom, and contacts traced. They try to give the same information by county, but they only have the data to provide a couple of the indicators at the county level. I know this data exists for my county, but it must be collected and stored (or not) differently in different counties and different states, so that there is no single organized database of it. This is the kind of thing the federal government could provide leadership on, and once again, they are just failing us in epic fashion.

I’ve added this to my running list of Covid data and simulation sites.
