I've had a hard time tracking this thing. You can get how many died on a specific day and what the total is, but it's hard to get the day by day totals which I think is what you really want to know to track it. I finally found this. I think the death rate is more meaningful because cases depends a lot on how many they have tested lately.
This is the site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Missouri I used Missouri because most of us expatriates live there. You can change the location by just putting in say, California, or St_Louis into the url, or maybe there is some way to navigate within the page. Of course it's still going to be a pretty rough instrument, but I want something. I am looking for a leveling off so at some point, even if things are still going badly I can think that today is slightly better than yesterday.
I noticed yesterday in fb that an old Champaign friend of mine (Denise Taylor) is running a fever and going to get testing as is the sister of a guy I know from the building.
Changing the subject. Somebody in fb is putting up shots from Mitch Brown's movie Shot. Here is a link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3058739247511376&set=pcb.2729849697113582&type=3&theater&ifg=1 I think that is Wilson hopping the hedge or whatever. I remember that Sirloin House. Not much on steaks, but I loved that Texas toast/
Your wikipedia link is good for tracking incidents in large cities, but I still like the NY Times maps that track county by county. Our county now has 1 reported case and no deaths. Really not sure if that case is the woman who drove from Springfield (where they tested for flu and strep and sent her home with Tamiflu) or another one. Probably is her since they tested her here and she was positive.
