Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have unveiled a public website that provides up-to-date statistics on coronavirus infections in Orange County, with comparisons to neighboring and other California counties.
The site displays information collected from the California Open Data Portal in an easily comprehended format, giving visitors quick access to the most relevant data on hospitalized patients with COVID-19, intensive care unit patients, new daily cases and new daily deaths caused by the disease. It also offers color-coded Orange County maps, produced by UCI assistant professor of public health Daniel Parker, that show spatial patterns of growth in the number of cases, the number of tests and the fractions of positive tests from March through July.
A team of UC Irvine scientists on Monday launched the Chinese coronavirus tracking website that distills important pandemic metrics and compares Orange County’s case, hospitalization, and death averages against other large counties around California.
The new website joins many others that take state COVID-19 data each day and hone in on the most telling measures to help researchers, doctors, politicians, and the public make sense of a complex pandemic.
Homepage charts show how Orange County stacks up against a mix of Northern and Southern California counties.
