Today the Biden-Harris administration released a national strategy for COVID-19 response and cited @COVID19Tracking data. Hundreds of Americans—mostly volunteers—came together to build these datasets in a time of national crisis. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
We’ve done this work every day since March 7, 2020 to provide essential COVID-19 data for the country—data the federal government was not providing. It is incredibly encouraging to see plans for the federal government to gather, share, and publish COVID-19 data.

Our weekly update is published. Weekly cases are down 20%, and after 16 weeks of increases, weekly hospitalizations are down 4%.

For the 2nd week in a row, LTC facilities reported the highest weekly death toll—over 7,000. It’s likely that winter holiday backlogs and a change in Iowa’s death reporting have influenced this high number. 3 weekly bar charts showing COVID-19 metrics in long-term-ca
On a more hopeful note, hospitalizations declined in almost every state over the past week. Only New York saw an increase in hospitalized patients (4% higher), while MA was essentially flat. US cartogram showing the change in COVID-19 hospitalizations
