It’s amazing we didn’t see this coming sooner
- nl 6y agoThe project I was on was on Dengue Fever and Zika and they had their shit together on that. The data was clean, well organised, delivered quickly. Somehow between then and now that data collection side has fallen to bits to the point where efforts like the John Hopkins tracking project had to rely on the NYT open source collection on GitHub. I don't know who is responsible for pandemic response in the US, but back then everyone at CDC seemed competent and dedicated.
