Management of the COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a significant challenge to policy makers. This is in large part due to uneven reporting and the absence of open-access visualization tools to present local trends and infer healthcare needs. Here we report the development of CovidCounties.org, an interactive web application that depicts daily disease trends at the level of US counties using time series plots and maps. This application is accompanied by a manually curated dataset that catalogs all major public policy actions made at the state-level, as well as technical validation of the primary data. Finally, the underlying code for the site is also provided as open source, enabling others to validate and learn from this work.
管理 COVID-19 大流行已被证明是政策制定者面临的重大挑战。这在很大程度上是由于报告不均衡以及缺乏开放获取的可视化工具来展示当地趋势并推断医疗保健需求。在这里，我们报告了 CovidCounties.org 的开发，这是一个交互式网络应用程序，使用时间序列图和地图来描述美国县级的每日疾病趋势。该应用程序附有一个手动策划的数据集，该数据集记录了州一级的所有主要公共政策行动，以及对主要数据的技术验证。最后，还提供了该网站的基础代码作为开源，使其他人能够验证和从这项工作中学习。
