COVID-19 Curated Data, Modeling, and Policy Resources

The COVID State Tracker is a 50-state biweekly survey that assesses attitudes towards COVID-19, vaccines, social distancing, and trust in government and other organizations. The website includes reports organized by topic and a dashboard with state or national graphs of these perceptions and attitudes for each two week period from April to May 2020, each month from May to December 2020, and each two-month period thereafter. The survey is weighted to be representative of each state's population. Data are available for download, and individual level data are available upon request.

The Kaiser Family Foundation's COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor contains rich data on attitudes towards the pandemic, social distancing policies, and vaccination, based on monthly telephone surveys of approximately 1,500 adults. Dashboard displays show detailed information on respondents' trust in vaccines from different manufacturers, receptiveness to various pro-vaccine persuasive messages, doubts about vaccine efficacy, side effects, and boosters, intentions to vaccinate their children, and concerns about emerging variants. Statistics are presented overall and broken out by respondent race, gender, political affiliation, vaccination status or urban/rural status. The survey is weighted to reflect the 2019 Census distributions of age, race and socioeconomic status, and includes sampling in high-hesitancy areas.

COVID-19 Tweets tracks the most popular pandemic-related Twitter content shared by each state and the country as a whole, for each month from January 2020 to January 2021. Through their dashboard, users can view the most popular links, domains and keywords for each state; the links, domains, and keywords that are most distinctively popular in a given state; and the most popular keywords shared nationally that are flagged as misleading. For each category, graphs of monthly content volume are displayed, and the underlying data are downloadable.

This resource collects data on country-level trends in attitudes and behaviors related to the pandemic, allowing users to easily make comparisons across countries and over time. The raw data are derived from a series of COVID-related surveys conducted across 30 countries from March 2020 to March 2022 by YouGov (a polling company).

This open-access archive houses probability-based survey data and reports measuring public attitudes, behavior, and experiences related to the pandemic. It provides a weekly summary of key results each Friday morning.

This state dashboard reports schools' reopening progress for each week from January 2021 to June 2021. Data on the percentage of students receiving in-person instruction on a daily or weekly basis are available for elementary, middle and high school students. The dashboard offers particularly detailed information on each district's weekly plans to offer remote, small-group, hybrid, or traditional in-person education, and whether or not in-person education is targeted towards students with disabilities, living in poverty, learning English as a second language, or with other special educational needs.

This dashboard combines state-provided enrollment and case count data with school and school district biweekly surveys. The surveys assess in-person enrollment counts, staff counts, case rates, and various measures of coronavirus transmission mitigation efforts, such as online learning, 3- or 6-feet distancing, ventilation, or masking. Data are available by school type, grade range, usage of social distancing measures, and state, from August 2020 through May 2021. The dashboard also includes links to each state's data sources related to COVID-19 transmission in schools, with notes on what information is included in each state's data releases. Importantly, the data include cases among people associated with in-person schooling, regardless of where cases were acquired.

This website contains information on school closures across 100 large, urban school districts serving 10 million students.

The University of Oxford Blavatnik School of Government's COVID-19 Government Response Tracker provides daily-by-country level data and visualizations on COVID-19 policy responses. The data include twenty indicators of policy response, including closure and containment policies, restrictions of movement, economic policies such as income support, and health system responses such as testing regimes and vaccination policies. These indicators are aggregated into four overall indices of the stringency and comprehensiveness of a region's policy response. The tracker also includes data on within-country variation in policy responses for US states and Canadian regions.

This document quantifies COVID-19 risk levels at the county- and state-level, based on the number of new daily cases, and provides general guidance to policy makers and the public on targetting and suppressing COVID-19 outbreaks, for populations with different risk levels. The framework specifies key performance indicators for testing and contact tracing at each risk level and stresses the need to continue suppression at all risk levels. The guidance was developed by a network of research, policy and public health experts brought together by Harvard’s Global Health Institute and the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics.

The Rockerfeller Foundation published a report outlining guidelines for reopening the U.S. economy in the context of the global pandemic. Central to their plan is the expansion of a national testing campaign that includes contact tracing of infected individuals. Their report details how to make such a plan a reality, in part by encouraging coordination between the private and public sectors. These recommendations are in line with those from the Harvard Center for Ethics.

This report outlines recommendations on how to reopen the American economy through what Harvard deems a TTSI (Testing, Tracing and Supported Isolation) path. The report recommends implementing at least 5 million daily tests by early June to ensure an initial safe reopening of economic activity. It also describes a need for innovation in testing, and how the public and private sector can work together to spur economic growth in a safe public health context. This report is in line with the recommendations from the Rockefeller Foundation.

This site contains maps to identify neighborhoods with a higher risk of COVID-19 infections, based on demographic risk factors such as age, pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, and people living alone.

This dashboard seeks to help federal, state, and local officials across the country—particularly those in smaller communities—prepare for an onslaught of COVID-19 cases. The dashboard brings together a host of factors — from the relative age of the population to the number of nearby hospital beds and staff — to determine which counties are well-prepared for an outbreak and which counties might need more help. The dashboard is based on data updated through April 2021.

This dashboard uses U.S. Census data through February 2020 to estimate pre-existing demand for child care for the children of workers in critical sectors. It contains a map showing the number of children at-need and allows for selection of various types of providers, from teachers to childcare workers and school administrators.

This website from the New York Times provides an interactive map showing COVID-19 case counts at U.S. colleges and universities since the start of the pandemic. For each school (which is grouped by state, and searchable), the site also provides cumulative case counts and an infographic showing how weekly cases per capita changed over time at that school between 2020 and May 2021. The dataset is believed to be the most comprehensive collection of COVID-19 cases at colleges. Because colleges vary in testing rates, how they collect and report case data, and reopening plans, the data should not be used to make campus-to-campus comparisons.

This dashboard provides state- and county-level COVID-19 viral and antibody testing rates, positive and negative test results, and testing results disaggregated by age and gender. The data are collected from more than 20,000 lab testing locations (based on data supplied by Lab Coalition members). While this does not represent all testing being conducted across the U.S., the real-time updates on the dashboard can help identify trends in testing and results. Public health officials and people affiliated with healthcare organizations must create an account (free) to access the dashboard.

This dashboard contains case counts of COVID-19 around the world, by country and region. It also lists information about world-wide travel restrictions, as well as links to the WHO for advice and information on the virus for the public. It pulls data from government sources and news organizations.

A dashboard containing demographics of the cohort and a data dictionary is available for the data warehouse, which uses the OMOP common data model. Synthetic data are publicly available; de-identified data (with shifted dates and limited geographic information) can be accessed with an approved Data Use Request; and limited data (including accurate date and geographic information) can be accessed with IRB approval.

Wastewater testing provides an alternative way to rapidly assess SARS-CoV-2 viral exposure among thousands of people, and in a manner that protects privacy. This cutting-edge surveillance tool can boost COVID-19 pandemic response by shedding light on infections among those who do not show symptoms or do not present for testing. Wastewater data can provide an early warning for new waves of infection and identify whether transmission is rising or waning. As of February 2022, the CDC's COVID Data Tracker includes wastewater surveillance data from monitoring SARS-CoV-2 levels in sewage at more than 400 testing sites across the country. Wastewater data allow for more rapid detection of changes in COVID-19 transmission and do not suffer from bias due to testing behavior and test accuracy. Mathematica is providing analytics to translate lab data on sewage biomarkers into policy insights for state and local officials and is also advising federal agencies on standards and best practices for the national system.

The report summarizes resources to identify measures of well-being, social connectedness, and other constructs that measure social and behavioral effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on populations’ health outcomes. The site includes suggestions for data resources to identify pre-crisis measures of social distancing, social networks, consumer confidence, unemployment, and the use of social media.

The COVID-19 forecast, created by the Shaman group at Columbia University, accurately predicted actual deaths and case rates according to evaluations of the model's predictions in 2020. The model offers projections under various assumptions around the strength of social distancing restrictions during the prediction interval. Projections of case rates, death rates, and bed availability in the next week, three weeks, or six weeks can be exported in raw form from their GitHub site or viewed in graphs or maps.

This resource, created by Youyang Gu (and independent data scientist), aggregates projections from nearly forty different models and compares them to actual data on COVID-19 cases and deaths. The models are ranked against a "baseline" prediction of lagged actual death data. Model projections are compared at four-week intervals for the entire U.S. and for each state. Code and documentation are provided so these comparisons can be replicated and modified. The UCLA Statistical Machine Learning Group also provides a comparison of its model against several others, at the weekly level, for the entire U.S. and for each state.

This website gives projections of hospital capacity (such as number of ICU and hospital beds) for each of the 306 hospital markets (Hospital Referral Regions) in the U.S. The application allows users to select different scenarios for infection rates and length of time until a vaccine is widely available. More information on the forecasting tool can be found in news stories from The New York Times and ProPublica. The HGHI team also wrote a piece on how to make sense of changing predictions and the inherent uncertainty around forecast estimates.

This interactive tool designed by MGH (in collaboration with Harvard Medical School, Georgia Tech, and the Boston Medical Center) evaluates the impact of different social-distancing interventions (by varying their intensity and timing) on reduction in the spread of coronavirus in the U.S. until August 31, 2020. The information can help policymakers understand consequences of such interventions on the rate of new cases, potential strain on the healthcare system, and projected deaths. Data is available at the country and state level, with comparisons available between states.

This site contains several national- and state-level forecasts of cumulative COVID-19 deaths for the next four weeks. Forecasting teams (largely from U.S. universities) predict numbers of deaths using different data types (e.g., COVID-19 data, demographic data, mobility data), statistical methods, and estimates of the impacts of interventions (e.g. social distancing, use of face coverings).

This open-source tool allows hospitals to project new hospital admissions, ICU admissions, and patients requiring ventilation due to COVID-19. Users input data about their hospital and population and modify assumptions related to the spread of COVID-19. The tool then runs an epidemiological SIR (Susceptible, Infectious, Recovered) model to project the number of new hospitalizations per day. This tool can be used to create best- and worst-case scenarios to assist with hospital capacity planning. Related information includes user documentation (describing the objective of the app, data inputs, and tool outputs), a GitHub repository (developers can contribute to the tool or branch off to modify or expand on the code), and developer documentation.

This tool allows users to project exposures, infections, and hospitalizations due to COVID-19. Users input assumptions about COVID-19 transmission and clinical dynamics and the tool uses an epidemiological SEIR (Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, Recovered) model to project the spread of COVID-19 and resulting hospitalizations.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) projections include state and national information about COVID-19 case counts, hospital/ICU beds, and invasive ventilators available and needed for the projected cases. Projections are shown in graph form across time.
