Two Resources

 Much of what you see in the press regarding covid-19 is bunk, but this ongoing summary from Nature is generally good and trustworthy.  At least, it's the latest science from people doing their level best to get it right.  link to Nature  It's usually updated every day or so – as results trickle out, on no particular schedule.  

The second resource I'm pointing out today is the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME home page).  Their home page has all kinds of links to papers they're producing, but perhaps of more interest here are these direct links showing the ongoing data on infections and deaths per day along with near-future projections under various scenarios.  You can get to most any region of the world via the pull-down menu, but for convenience here are some of the more relevant ones for the usual readers of this blog:

United States | Mississippi | Louisiana | Alabama | Florida

Very convenient to have these, especially when the MSM points to one currently-exploding region of the country and begins, yet again, screaming about doom.  And while some of the projections are a bit pessimistic, the historical data are correct and the seven-day ripple has been mercifully smoothed out.
