This is a collection of Covid-19 resources we’ve found useful in understanding, coping with, and determining what we can and should do in the face of the virus. Created by friend of the Philly Maker Faire Jono Matusky. Comment or contact jono@matus.ky for additions or change. Jono is keeping the updated information here: https://bit.ly/2UOpl2k
Note: I’m personally looking for a model comparing the outbreaks in the NY/NJ/PA tristate region to the outbreaks in Northern Italy, which are similar geographic areas and populations (~30 million). If you’ve seen anything, please let me know.
