10 New Ways Of Visualizing Louisville Metro And Ky. COVID-19 Stats

Confused trying to figure out whether the daily numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths represent good news, or signs the pandemic is trending in the wrong direction? Here are some new

visualizations that should help.

These graphs also include data for the entire Louisville Metro area: Bullitt, Henry, Jefferson, Oldham, Shelby and Spencer counties in Kentucky, and Clark, Floyd, Harrison and Washington

counties in Indiana. Previously, most of the data has focused on either statewide snapshots or individual counties; in Louisville, so many people live, work and spend time in multiple

counties and across state lines that this comprehensive view is especially valuable.

Below you'll find the following graphs, updated automatically around 1 p.m. every weekday:

This data is all from two public sources: the daily Kentucky Public Health COVID-19 Daily Summary and the daily Indiana State Department of Health COVID-19 County-Wide Test, Case and Death

Trends. It was compiled and visualized by a group called SAFE (Safely Actioning for Emergence) Louisville. SAFE Louisville describes itself as a "volunteer advisory group of current and

retired health executives, clinicians, military leaders and scientific experts formed to help the Louisville community with its response to the coronavirus pandemic." (For a full list of

SAFE's volunteer members, scroll to the bottom of the page.)
