This page is looking at trends in COVID-19 cases in Maryland, USA.
I started this page to gather in one place all links to my blog posts on specific aspects of COVID-19 in Maryland, links to tools I developed as well as all figures generated (at the bottom). This was updated as new posts/tools/figures were written but please note that I don’t live in Maryland anymore (but I still love this state!). If you want to update all these analysis, all my code and figures are here, for free. And, as always, feel free to [send me suggestions, comments and questions](mailto:jepoirrier@gmail.com?subject=MDCOVID19 blog)!
Note that if you want official information about COVID-19, please visit the Maryland Department of Health. And as always, scientific and understandable information is on the CDC website.
