It displays COVID-19 data from every county and 188 metropolitan areas in the U.S. Features include rankings of the worst affected areas and auto-generating plots that depict temporal changes in testing capacity, cases, and deaths. Our team developed a methodology to aggregate county-level COVID-19 data into metropolitan areas and display these data in an interactive dashboard that updates in real-time. To track the proportion of each area's residents that became infected or died of COVID-19, we used the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 population estimate for each county to normalize data to tests, cases, and deaths per 10,000 residents. Users can view COVID-19 cases and deaths from The NYT at the county, city, state, or national level, and the total number of tests reported by the COVID Tracking Project, including the breakdown between positive and negative tests, is shown for each state. ./cache/cord-328826-guqc5866.txt ./txt/cord-328826-guqc5866.txt
