Covid-Projections
US by State
About: Projections were created by the founder of Real Science, Dr. Christin Glorioso. I produced a separate SIR model for each county with an empirically derived beta from real data from that county. US and state level data are calculated from the sum of the county model results. The primary data are from the JHU COVID repository. Feel free to reach out to me for more details. You can join the site and message me or leave a comment below.

About
Join Real Science to create a profile and jump in on the discussion. Scientists and experts are encouraged to contribute to the blog and add to/edit the wiki.
Welcome to the Real Science Community.
Part social networking, part blog, and part wiki, Real Science is dedicated to connecting scientists for discussion amongst themselves and with the world. It was born out of frustration with the fake science news that has been especially egregious during the COVID-19 pandemic; and also the need for speed in scientific innovation. It will continue to be a much needed tool in times of crisis or scientific advancement in the future. I would love your help in building and growing Real Science.
You can:
- Read, comment, and contribute to the Blog
- Watch real-time COVID-tracking
- Read and contribute to the Real Science wiki, which will be written by experts about their own research in real-time (still getting started)
- Connect and collaborate in groups using social networking profiles
