Data, Statistics & Research
- Our World In Data: Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) – Statistics and Research
To my mind this is currently one of the best pages which presents and thoughly explains the available data on COVID-19. It contains more than 40 interactive visualizations and particularly elaborates on what can and can not be said based on the available data. The page and data are updated daily. - European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: COVID-19
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is closely monitoring this outbreak, providing risk assessments, public health guidance, and advice on response activities to EU Member States and the EU Commission. Although ECDC is an agency of the European Union is provides and visualizes world-wide data. The page and data are updated daily. - World Health Organization: Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) provides various resources including general guidance and help, situation reports and data on global level, a publication data base on COVID-19 and media resources. Particularly, the situation reports and data are updated daily. - Johns Hopkins University & Medicine: Corona Virus Resource Center
Johns Hopskins hosts a dedicated resource center on COVID-19 which encompasses general guidance, an interactive map/dashboard covering cases, deaths and recovered on global level, media resources and sitation reports. Particularly, the situation reports and data are updated daily. - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) maintains a dedicated page on the COVID-19 including resources for communities, healthcase professionals and data about cases and tests in the US only. The page and data are updated daily. - The COVID Tracking Project
The COVID Tracking Project fills a gap in publicly available COVID-19 testing data for the US. Interestingly at the moment no US governmental or institutional source is publishing complete data on testing. The CDC publishes COVID-19 cases but no complete accounting of how many people have been tested. The project aggregates, verifies and provides the data in a spreadsheet reporting on positive, negative and pending tests, patients hospitalized and deaths.

- The Daily Show with Trevor Noah: Bill Gates on Fighting Coronavirus. April 3, 2020
Trevor Noah and Bill Gates talk about the various strategies and options for dealing with the coronavirus. I’m always impressed by the holistic and long-term perspective of Bill Gates.

Moreover, it’s a very orderly interview which unfortunately isn’t standard these days. - MIT Sloan Management Review Webinar with Eric J.
