Show HN: Tool to track Covid-19 near any US location using JHU geocoded data(prospercircle.org) |
So I built this tool.
The primary source of US data is Johns Hopkins University geocoded coronavirus data. For international locations and some US locations, I use a combination of public sources - CDC, WHO, ECDC, etc.
For a US location, you can see the number of cases reported in the county of the address. The tool also allows you to see estimated coronavirus stats within a 5-mile and a 10-mile radius of a US address. This number is estimated by combining current county data, with neighboring county data (based on the geographic location of the address and the radius selected), census data, and FCC location information.
Some locations that friends and colleagues are tracking include, their homes, office locations, grocery stores, schools, child care centers, places of worship, etc.
Would love to get Hackernews community thoughts. Hopefully, it is useful to improve the signal to noise ratio when tracking coronavirus stats.
