A quick thank you to the @nytimes data team for maintaining a data repo I have used daily for 15 months to look at and visualize data for my county. Now below 100 new cases (and 200 on a 7-day avg) for the 1st time since March of last year--and IL reopens fully this week.

Public data, public health -- so below is some public code too. The @rdatatable and #ggplot2 combination makes it a breeze. #rstats for the win

And here is a thread about it from the @nytimes:
a team of one hundred to support the coronavirus case data collection and analysis. And, as of today, a truly well deserved Pulitzer Prize for Public Service!! Sincere congratulations!
You may have seen The NYT’s coronavirus case map. It's part of a sprawling data effort that involved over 100 journalists. We learned today our work was part of an entry that received the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Here’s how the project came to be.
