## Source excerpt

I'd like to say that I'm happy to announce: https://www.covidnearme.org/ but I'm not. Like a lot of us, nay, most of us, I find the current COVID-19 / Corona virus bothersome if not scary. But the world is what it is and we are better off knowing more about COVID-19 rather than less so I made a tool. What is covidnearme.org? Covnearme.org is a web site which lets you: Easily drill down to where you live. Bookmark a location or location that you care about See a leaderboard of cases BUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE US ON 3/10? That is apparently the date when Johns Hopkins stopped reporting US level county data and only data at the state level. Yes that means that the US is officially LESS OPEN than China. Let's compare a screenshot between Seattle and Hubei: If you think this is the same bull crap that we do then please use this hashtag when you tweet: #hopkinswheresmylocaldata #Covid_19 Where's the Damn Map? We didn't put one in (yet). I've been using the Hopkins tracker for several weeks now and it gives me a great feel for the global scene but I don't just want global - I want local. And I'm too damn fat fingered to make their map work for me easily. Why Did You Build This? We wanted: The ability to know what's happening near the people we love. The ability to bookmark a location - our homes, our parent's homes, our friends workplaces The ability to know metrics which people aren't posting yet like the death metrics (why the hell is Italy so much higher?) and the recovery metrics (Seattle has a lot of cases but the recovery percentages are pretty good) How Do I Give You Bugs? We have setup a public github repo for this to capture bugs as github issues. Just file an issue and please, please, please give us the url to where you have issues. Goto: https://github.com/fuzzygroup/covdidnearme_bugs/issues Note: If anyone out there in the bug tracking world wants to give us tooling for bugs, contact fuzzygroup at gmail.com Who the Hell Are You? You keep saying we. Who is we? The
