Some Links About Covid-9 Epidemiology

I did some refactoring and added a title, which is useful for any topic.

Here's a map created by CDC showing the distribution of confirmed coronavirus cases by country.

NYT live-updates on responses to the virus:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/12/world/coronavirus-news.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-coronavirus&variant=show&region=TOP_BANNER&context=storyline_menu

Look at all the extra information being leaked by that url. Everything after "coronavirus-news.html" is unnecessary for pointing the reader at the article. And rather than giving a link to the continuing updates, it is specific to March 12, which is almost certainly not what you want.

Johns Hopkins maintains a widely-used virus tracker.

A summary from March 10 of the state of affairs in the New Rochelle containment area just north of NYC.

Look here for a detailed analysis of the danger posed by Covid-19, as seen by a non-physician, non-epidemiologist who studies at Stanford Business School and is elated by having such a large readership.

Finally, if anyone here prefers podcasts, Marc Lipsitch has a great short interview (25 min) on the "Deep Background with Noah Feldman" podcast. Dr. Lipsitch is the head of Harvard's epidemiology lab, and is the originator of the "40-70% of the adult population will likely get coronavirus" statistic.

Can someone provide a summary of what those 25 minutes add to our knowledge?
