The COVID Tracking Project is a collaborative volunteer-run effort to track the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. It maintains a regularly updated database of a variety of types of information related to the outbreak, including counts of the number of positive and negative test results obtained in each state.[1][2] It obtains its data from "state health departments, local news reports and live news conferences", according to the New York Times.[3]
History
In early March 2020, two journalists, Robinson Meyer and Alexis Madrigal, started constructing a COVID-19 tracker for their investigation in the Atlantic. Around the same time, data scientist Jeff Hammerbacher was independently working on a similar tracking spreadsheet. The COVID Tracking Project was formed when these two projects merged into one on March 7, 2020. Madrigal leads the project, and Erin Kissane is its managing editor; Hammerbacher is no longer affiliated with the project.[4]
