"It's like driving a car 100mph down a freeway trying to control it by looking in the rear view mirror," says @Kevin on #COVID19 data. "That's part of why we built the site--we wanted to give people an insight into how the stats are actually developing with a reliable algorithm."

We're open sourcing the code behind the rt.live website, too: github.com/rtcovidlive/covid… If you're interested in the JS + d3 code that powers the visualizations on the site, it's now there for you to explore

Just launched a brand new rt.live - state detail pages and a much improved model. We built this so we can see how our actions have helped or hindered the spread of #COVID19. Short answer: the current trajectory is very concerning.

Also, if you're interested we've open-sourced the model and you can see how it works here: github.com/rtcovidlive/covid…

State detail pages give you a closer look into what's actually going on. Take Arizona, for instance: rt.live/us/AZ You can see that reopening lines up almost exactly with a pivot in implied infections
