In addition to the data (and sample queries), The Associated Press has also included an embeddable interactive visualization (and the code to embed it) in their project summary. To learn more about AP’s data journalism capabilities for publishers, corporations and financial institutions email kromano@ap.org.

data.world is replicating the European CDC data as shared by Our World in Data (OWiD). For the most up-to-date summary and insights on this data please see the OWiD page dedicated to this work.  

This dataset was originally sourced from the data put out by the World Health Organization (WHO). For a detailed writeup on why OWiD shifted their coverage to the ECDC data, you can read their coverage here. The data contained in this source focuses primarily on the number of deaths and cases, and more specifically, how quickly those numbers double. For a complete list of visualizations (over 40 in total) you can also view their insights page.

USAFacts is providing county-level COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths compiled from government sources. Confirmed cases and deaths refer to COVID-19 instances that are verified and reported by state and/or local government agencies. They also offer a confirmed cases per 100,000 residents calculation using 2019 Census Bureau estimates. They believe this provides further context about the spread of COVID-19. Please note that population-adjusted calculations of confirmed cases are more sensitive to differences in testing availability. The datasets are updated throughout the day with a full refresh at the end of each day.

In cooperation with the Associated Press, NORC, MN Federal Reserve, and the Alfred P. Sloan and Packard foundations, the Data Coalition has commissioned an independent survey to cover physical health, mental health, and economic security in the United States. 

The COVID Impact Survey aims to fill an information gap that currently exists in the United States, supported by philanthropy and government in the absence of a current analogous government survey. While the Data Foundation and other organizations are encouraging the federal government to launch similar, larger-scale efforts in coming months, data collection now is vital to our country’s future choices and we cannot wait for the government to act. Importantly, this information will be critical for policymakers in determining future actions for stay-at-home orders, social distancing policies, and other actions to combat the virus. 

“Testing is a crucial part of any public health response, and sharing test data is essential to understanding this outbreak. The CDC is currently not publishing complete testing data, so we’re doing our best to collect it from each state and provide it to the public. The information is patchy and inconsistent, so we’re being transparent about what we find and how we handle it—the spreadsheet includes our live comments about changing data and how we’re working with incomplete information.”

On March 16, 2020, the White House issued a call to action to the tech community regarding the dataset, asking experts “to develop new text and data mining techniques that can help the science community answer high-priority scientific questions related to COVID-19.”
