I think it would be nice if we could all work together to expand this community a bit and we can do this by suggesting what you would like to see in the sidebar and any resources we can compile together to add to it.
I will work on the sidebar when I get home - thank you for all the resources, more is always appreciated 😊
Or if any other mods want to start working on it that’s helpful too
The only thing I could think to add would be a link to the Death Panel podcast since they’ve been good about covering COVID from the beginning.
Here’s some sites that I check from time to time. Some are directly covid related, some are to get a feel of Covid 's impact
-
This is the WHO covid dashboard https://data.who.int/dashboards/covid19/cases?n=c
-
Dashboard for Worldwide FLUNet data https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiZTkyODcyOTEtZjA5YS00ZmI0LWFkZGUtODIxNGI5OTE3YjM0IiwidCI6ImY2MTBjMGI3LWJkMjQtNGIzOS04MTBiLTNkYzI4MGFmYjU5MCIsImMiOjh9
US centric stuff
-
US wastewater monitoring https://biobot.io/data/ Tho it’s becoming less and useful as more counties drop out.
-
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Civilian Labor Force - With a Disability, 16 Years and over from the US Population survey https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU01074597
-
Ordering free tests from usps https://special.usps.com/testkits
-
US hospital bed capacity https://data.commercialappeal.com/hospital-capacity/ No idea how up to date or accurate this site’s data is.
-
People’s CDC (US nonprofit) does a weather report where they cover wastewater trends from biobot and other covid news. https://peoplescdc.org/weatherreports/
-
This is the linktree for the Insta account covidisntover, they do weekly hangouts online for people who are still taking covid seriously.
-
Cleanairclub’s rundown of Protective Nasal Sprays https://twitter.com/Clean_Air_Club_/status/1685790242681331713
edit: I think that’s it for now. If I think of anything else, I’ll add it.
Jessica Wildfire on nasal sprays on doomer.io, twitter doesn’t work for me so can’t compare it to the other link.
People cdc’s youtube channel, might be redundant
Somewhat related, I think a stickied thread with useful information like nasal sprays and vaccine advancements would be beneficial.
nose sprays are great
I’ve also seriously considered walking into a grocery store with a few full garbage bags full of clean air, attached to a hose, attached to a garbage bag hood on my head.
That way no contaminated air makes it into my nose. It seems like one garbage bag can last a person about 10 minutes (do your own research don’t take this at face value)
Forgot about this one! US based.
https://www.test2treat.org/s/?language=en_US
Home Test to Treat is a program that offers free tests and free treatment (if eligible) for COVID-19 and Flu at home 24/7. No insurance or appointments needed!
This program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to better understand how technologies such as at-home tests and telemedicine can improve healthcare access for individuals across the country. Findings will be used to inform future public health programs for the American people. Any data shared with researchers will be limited to what is necessary to evaluate the program and will not include information which can identify you.
i don’t have much else to contribute but what y’all already added is already a big improvement
