I wish people would have given prizes (Pulitzers!) to @alexismadrigal, @robinsonmeyer & the other people behind the Covid Tracking Project, coz damn, they too really stepped up when the need for data was desperate.

The COVID Tracking Project is a volunteer organization launched from The Atlantic and dedicated to collecting and publishing the data required to understand the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.

A blog post by me and @JonathanGilmou3 about the how and why of our COVID-19 data screenshot system at @COVID19Tracking - so many amazing people helped with this! https://t.co/dsBlHXjpqC

One of the foundational principles of The COVID Tracking Project is data transparency. We set out to take screenshots of state COVID-19 websites and dashboards to create an archive, show where our data came from, and maintain data history.

Yesterday was the last daily update from @COVID19Tracking, after 365 days. Being a part of this amazing group of people has been an incredible privilege and personally a yearlong lifeline. Thank you all so much ❤️
And—this is @alexismadrigal and @kissane—we have to thank CTP’s contributors. This project came out of nothing. You became its blood and bones. We know how much you sacrificed—jobs, school, kidtime—and how much it sometimes hurt to handle the numbers that defined this year.

I wrote up a quick tutorial on getting started with the @OpenVax cancer neoantigen vaccine pipeline:

We've previously written about the OpenVax neoantigen prediction pipeline, which is the computational basis of 3 clinical trials at Mount Sinai. The purpose of this post is to prov

So proud to be part of the 36-member TESLA and collaborate on optimizing neoantigen vaccine selection! @TischCancer @OpenVax
1/ An intl collaborative of 36 orgs (called TESLA) led by @parkerici and @cancerresearch has created a model that could enhance #neoantigen prediction – which could propel a new generation of personalized immunotherapies. Learn more at https://t.co/BU2pdLMzTU or read the thread

We compared state- and HHS-reported COVID hospitalization counts and are seeing large discrepancies and difficult-to-interpret data. Reliable hospital data is critical for assessing regional COVID impact
Addendum: What happens when critical public health data is shared openly? The public pitches in and helps. Wonderful analysis by @COVID19Tracking @NotoriousRSG @betsyladyzhets @JuliaKodysh on the deltas that need to be addressed between states & HHS. https://t.co/OswoCFCSLh

Not sure we've communicated well enough that social distancing interventions will pay dividends in 1-3 weeks. Anything that happens in the next 10 days was already baked in prior to that. A surge in cases now would NOT mean that social distancing isn't working.

Anyone out there know of data sources tracking US state-level ICU/hospitalization rates for #COVID19?

This is important. Half of positive cases had no symptoms. It will be very important to follow up and find out if this cohort (a) ever developed symptoms and (b) developed humoral/cellular immunity
How one small town at the center of the outbreak has cut infections virtually to zero: test all 3,300 in town, isolate the 3 percent who tested positive. Infection rate 10 days later down to .3 percent. https://t.co/5Tgpa7cCgl
