Hey everyone,
I live in New York and my parents live in Georgia. Since the outbreak happened in the US, I have been tracking coronavirus numbers regularly. Getting high-level statewide numbers was good, but my friends and I were more curious to find cases near our family members' home and easily track those locations. We looked for the source data and found that Johns Hopkins University provides a daily geocoded snapshot of COVID cases.
To get a higher fidelity view on the number of cases near a US location here is a small tool we built - https://www.prospercircle.org/coronavirus-near-me
Wanted to share it here if it helps anyone else. A lot of my family and friends have been using it. Hope it helps people here.
If this post about tracking covid or posting a link breaks any rules, please feel free to remove it. Goal is to help people during these stressful times...
