About

The COVID Mapping Project was created in March 2020 by the Standard Co team as a way of unifying COVID data into a single, easy to use resource.

The Standard Co team has been working in global health for the past 7 years and has focused primarily on making complex data more simple via its platform, Standard Data, for the past 4 years.

Our platform is used in over 60 countries by CDC, WHO, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and others to help better understand the distribution of disease and how data can ultimately be used to transform lives.

The COVID Mapping Project is leveraging the exact same tools that are used around the world to map, track, and better educate the public on the status of the disease, and how policy has influenced the severity and persistence of the virus.

Gratitude

The COVID Mapping Project would not be possible without assistance from the following kind folks:

TJ Muehleman (founder Standard Co) -- For wrangling all of the data and spearheading the building of the tool

Jonathan Nesbitt (founder Standard Co) -- For giving up his beloved coding chops to build this site in Webflow. And for putting up with TJ's constant stream of bad ideas

Justin Hill (founder / CEO of Faretrotter) -- For volunteering to write a tool that automatically pulled data from 34 states' DPH websites. No small feat!

Eric Toledo (Design Guy) -- For being a cheerleader, volunteering to lend a hand with the Webflow CMS, and some design type things.

Kyle and Ryan Hughes -- high schoolers from Woodinville, WA, they've been helping with some of the manual effort of collecting data and configuring Metabase dashboards

The Standard Co team -- we are a small and scrappy crew but we've built a first class data platform that, until recently, had been used in 63 countries. Now we can add a 64th country -- the US. Kinda weird to write that.

Your Social Team -- these old friends of ours from Switchyards volunteered to set us up and manage an instagram account.
