Teenager Made an Upbeat, Comforting Coronavirus Tracking Website
I was surfing the yahoo.com news & found this story. Avi is the real deal techy kid !
One of the most uplifting online resources for data about the coronavirus pandemic is nCoV2019.live, a site that tracks coronavirus data country-by-country and, within countries, territory-by-territory. It’s an incredible source of up to date information for anyone following the pandemic — 40 percent of its millions of daily visitors are located outside of the United States — but what’s more incredible is that it was created by a high school junior.
Avi Schiffmann is a 17-year-old from Mercer Island, Washington. He started the site all the way back in December, well before the disease had been detected anywhere outside of China. Schiffmann’s site aggregates data from reputable sources to create a quantitative picture of the pandemic. He explained his vision in a recent interview with Democracy Now!
“The main goal of it was to provide just an easy way to see the straight facts and the data,” he said. “I didn’t want to make it hard. You know, you shouldn’t have to go through government websites and download like a daily PDF that’s probably out of date by the time you read it, and, you know, have to go through all kinds of complicated things, just to see, you know, the straight facts.”
so here is a link to the site he made. I don’t know how to get an image in this story of the page. Avi is going places in life with the talent he has to the internet !
