This is what we’ve been using to help us make decisions on what we will and won’t be doing right now. No model is perfect, but this is the best I can find for now. @CovidActNow, data and predictions to help America reopen safely: covidactnow.org #COVIDActNow

I can see that in my county, cases are currently shrinking, which is good news! But I can also see that our test positivity rate is high enough that we can’t really trust that number yet, so for now we’re still staying inside. It’s helping me to stay realistic but hopeful 🤷🏻‍♀️💕

I found this post to be incredibly helpful, and informative, and hopeful. I love a clear way forward with lots of good explanations of why & how. Plus illustrations & gentle hope. 💙 ncase.me/covid-19/

tl;dr - CONTACT TRACING. Test, trace, isolate. Assisted by a privacy-first app with publicly available code 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Text “ContainCovid” to 50409 (@resistbot) to send a pre-written message to your Governor requesting that they prioritize testing, tracing, and mask usage 🙏🏻#TestAndTrace #Masks4All go.shr.lc/2KtZBDu

This is another very useful tool that estimates the odds someone has COVID in groups of different size, based on county. You can slide the group size up and down to see how it changes the odds.
