"If power has to be maintained through overwhelming force, or even hastily built barriers, those of us standing in trauma on the other side have to wonder whoās really being protected." - @JustinNXT writes about his hometown of Minneapolis in the NYTimes today. Essential reading.
Hadn't planned to write about my hometown this week, but I couldn't ignore what I felt. All the panic from politicians, the barricades, curfews and overwhelming police/military response make it clear which lives matter to Minnesota

Newsrooms - if youāre covering COVID-19 data hereās a cheatsheet of some common errors to avoid.
Over the past few weeks, weāve noticed that newsrooms of all sizesāand even some government agenciesāhave fallen into some of the data potholes that weāve become familiar with in our year of wrangling public COVID-19 data.

Somehow @kissane managed to simultaneously maintain a culture of care at @COVID19Tracking while also captaining a deeply steady editorial vision. Rest up and thank you for everything.

We as a country failed so horribly to protect residents of nursing homes and other long-term-care facilities from COVID. Hereās some of what we learned from tracking this tragedy for nearly a year.
Over the past 10 months, we've tried to determine how COVID-19 affected some of the people most vulnerable to the virus: residents of long-term-care facilities.

This is our thirty-ninth weekly update - and our last one. It's been an honor to work with such dedicated, thoughtful people to bring this data to the public and make sense of what we can together.
Today we published our final weekly update. COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospitalizations continue to decline, while tests are up 12 percent.
