Really pleased to support this important work making COVID data available to the public and to see these data being used by many different people and organizations.

[US Covid Atlas @covid_atlas]

On Sunday's @MeetThePress, @chucktodd explored the impact of holiday travel in his Data Download segment, using county-level vaccination rate data from the US Covid Atlas.

Thrilled to see this collaboration between @RWJF supported projects.

This is well done from a data visualization stand point and also raises an interesting but unanswered question on what data and research can be used to ensure equitable redevelopment as an outcome. https://t.co/FMP9r1QjoE via @bbgvisualdata

[George Hobor @HoborGeorge]

Excited to see how this @RWJF Commission will identify the data and measures that are needed to advance health equity and how the field of public health and its partners need to change to put those data to use. https://t.co/NRhAgZxEx2

[George Hobor @HoborGeorge]

New blog from @GIHeath: how @CityHealthData and @NJHI_ partnered to provide community organizations, and their partners accessible data to help improve health in their neighborhoods. Read more: https://t.co/3bzx7gkdAx

[George Hobor @HoborGeorge]

"...social determinants of health must be more than an industry buzzword. They must guide the science that generates public health data." I agree and want more examples like the US COVID Atlas.

[US Covid Atlas @covid_atlas]

The impact of COVID is deeply intertwined with social determinants of health (#SDOH) - including the geographic fault lines of racism. How can mapping better represent community narratives and histories?
