This post contains a list of authoritative sources for data and other facts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes links to sites where you can find numbers and other data about COVID-19 testing, infections, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccinations. Because I and most of my family live in the state of Georgia, I have included links for both the United States as well as Georgia.
If you have a question related to COVID-19 that can’t be answered by one of these links, or if you know of a better source than one I’ve chosen, feel free to contact me at lee-dot-coursey-at-gmail-dot-com.
For a detailed weekly report of COVID-19 trends in the United States and Georgia, see my Weekly COVID-19 Status Dashboard which includes current numbers, trends, lots of charts and graphs, analysis of the numbers, and links to this week’s useful news items about vaccines, variants, treatments, and more.
