A Dark Day for COVID Data

We relied on this crucial data from the beginning of the pandemic, and now a great resource is gone. You certainly can't rely on the CDC!

"JHU (Johns Hopkins University) has stopped collecting data as of 3/10/23. After three years of around-the-clock tracking of COVID-19 data from around the world, Johns Hopkins has discontinued the Coronavirus Resource Center’s operations. The site’s two raw data repositories will remain accessible for information collected from 1/22/20 to 3/10/23 on cases, deaths, vaccines, testing and demographics.

After three years of 24-7 operations, the CRC is ceasing its data collection efforts due to an increasing number of U.S. states slowing their reporting cadences. In addition, the federal government has improved its pandemic data tracking enough to warrant the CRC’s exit. From the start, this effort should have been provided by the U.S. government. This does not mean Johns Hopkins believes the pandemic is over. It is not. The institution remains committed to maintaining a leadership role in providing the public and policymakers with cutting edge insights into COVID-19."
