Thank you for considering supporting me!
Supporting my caffeine habit will be put to use keeping nnycovid19.org online :) I will never run ads on this website and your support will allow me to keep doing what I do.
I run nnycovid19.org, a dashboard tailored to tracking COVID-19 cases in northern NY
Local data in charts, maps and graphs updated every day. There's state-wide, USA and world data too, along with vital COVID-19 information. Some of the COVID-19 info is self created, and all 3rd party content is reviewed for accuracy.
While there's a variety of info on the dashboard, the focus has always been on northern NY.
Counties I follow:
- Clinton
- Essex
- Franklin
- Lewis
- St. Lawrence
- Warren
- Jefferson
Daily NNY COVID-19 Newsletter
I have a free daily newsletter running since 3/26 that takes a closer look at trends and COVID relevant topics as it pertains to the north country. I do an analysis of the cases to look for trends at the regional and county levels.
Homemade Mask Research and Information
I've read several studies on masks and did a weighted analysis of homemade mask efficacy. I used this to create a mask info page and have updated an open source, interactive COVID-19 simulator that you can mess around with (seen in the video here).
About
When our first cases were coming in, getting good visual data for upstate NY was difficult. That's why I started tracking cases myself and writing the newsletter. I felt like our north country area was neglected so I wanted to focus on that.
I'm a med student still in limbo waiting to start hospital rotations. I have a background in science outside of medical school having done graduate work in biochemistry and public health. That doesn't mean I'm an expert, but I do my best to make sure the info on nnycovid19 is as accurate as possible. There's too much misinformation out there as it is!
