These Community Mobility Reports aim to provide insights into what has changed in response to policies aimed at combating COVID-19. The reports chart movement trends over time by geography, across different categories of places such as retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, parks, transit stations, workplaces, and residential.

Data cited at: Homebase https://joinhomebase.com/data/covid-19/. This dataset is based on Homebase data covering 60,000 businesses and 1 million hourly employees active in these metropolitan areas in January 2020.   All the rates compare that day vs. the median for that day of the week for the period Jan 4, 2020 – Jan 31, 2020. In other words, they show the extent to which Covid-19 has impacted Main St. as compared to pre-Covid levels.

Overview of Variants in Countries: This dataset contains, the proportion of total number of sequences (not cases), over time, that fall into defined variant groups. Countries are displayed if they have at least 70 sequences in any variant being tracked, over a period of at least 4 weeks. Countries are ordered by total number of sequences in tracked variants.   It is worth interpreting with caution:Not all samples are representative - sometimes some samples are more likely to be sequenced than others (for containing a particular mutation, for example)The last data point - this often has incomplete data and may change as more sequences come inFrequencies that are very 'jagged' - this often indicates low sequencing numbers and so may not be truly representative of the countryIn many places, sampling may not be equal across the region: samples may only cover one area or certain areas. It's important not to assume frequencies shown are necessarily representative.

In December 2022, IHME paused its COVID-19 modeling. IHME has developed projections for total and daily deaths, daily infections and testing, hospital resource use, and social distancing due to COVID-19 for a number of countries. Forecasts at the subnational level are included for select countries. The projections for total deaths, daily deaths, and daily infections and testing each include a reference scenario: Current projection, which assumes social distancing mandates are re-imposed for 6 weeks whenever daily deaths reach 8 per million (0.8 per 100k). They also include two additional scenarios: Mandates easing, which reflects continued easing of social distancing mandates, and mandates are not re-imposed; and Universal Masks, which reflects 95% mask usage in public in every location. Hospital resource use forecasts are based on the Current projection scenario. Social distancing forecasts are based on the Mandates easing scenario. These projections are produced with a model that incorporates data on observed COVID-19 deaths, hospitalizations, and cases, information about social distancing and other protective measures, mobility, and other factors. They include uncertainty intervals and are being updated daily with new data. These forecasts were developed in order to provide hospitals, policy makers, and the public with crucial information about how expected need aligns with existing resources, so that cities and countries can best prepare.

As of February 04, 2020, there are over 24,502 cases confirmed globally, including cases in at least 30 regions in China and 30 countries.  Interests: In-Market Segments Knoema All Users   Knoema modified the original dataset to include calculations per million.   https://knoema.com/WBPEP2018Oct https://knoema.com/USICUBDS2020 https://knoema.com/NBSCN_P_A_A0301 https://knoema.com/IMFIFSS2017Nov https://knoema.com/AUDSS2019 https://knoema.com/UNAIDSS2017 https://knoema.com/UNCTADPOPOCT2019Nov https://knoema.com/WHOWSS2018 https://knoema.com/KPMGDHC2019

Note: The source has discontinued this dataset with note-"With the discontinuation of the database that is the input for the MEI, we will no longer update the index after March 31, 2021. For questions, please contact Tyler Atkinson ( [email protected] < [email protected]>;)"   The Dallas Fed Mobility and Engagement Index (formerly the “Social Distancing Index”) summarizes the information in seven different variables based on geolocation data collected from a large sample of mobile devices to gain insight into the economic impact of the pandemic. The Mobility and Engagement Index measures the deviation from normal mobility behaviors induced by COVID-19. The updated name recognizes that social distancing, or the limiting of close contact with others outside your household, can be practiced while mobility and engagement improve. Along with revising the index’s name, we also changed the sign of the index to make it more intuitive as a measure of mobility and engagement. The underlying data is provided by SafeGraph. The national series is aggregated from county-level data with device counts as weights. Similar for the states. In the county files, the county name is in the first row, with FIPS code in the variable name. MSA data are for metro statistical areas (MSA), aggregated from county data using the March 2020. MSA names are in the first row, and CBSA codes in the variable name. The index is scaled so that the average of January-February is zero, and the lowest weekly value (week ended April 11) is -100. File names including 'weekly' are averages of the daily data. The data corresponds to the last day of the calendar week.

We define our day as midnight-to-midnight, Pacific time. Cities represent usage in greater metropolitan areas and are stably defined during this period. In many countries/regions and cities, relative volume has increased since January 13th, consistent with normal, seasonal usage of Apple Maps. Day of week effects are important to normalize as you use this data. Data that is sent from users’ devices to the Maps service is associated with random, rotating identifiers so Apple doesn’t have a profile of your movements and searches. Apple Maps has no demographic information about our users, so we can’t make any statements about the representativeness of our usage against the overall population. This information will be available for a limited time during the COVID‑19 pandemic.

Index Period: January 4th - January 31st Indexing Type: Seasonally adjusted change since January 2020. Data is indexed in 2019 and 2020 as the change relative to the January index period. We then seasonally adjust by dividing year-over-year, which represents the difference between the change since January observed in 1 2020 compared to the change since January observed since 2019. We account for differences in the dates of federal holidays between 2019 and 2020 by shifting the 2019 reference data to align the holidays before performing the year-over-year division.

This data file contains the following indicators that can be used to illustrate potential differences in the burden of deaths due to COVID-19 according to race and ethnicity: •Count of COVID-19 deaths: Number of deaths due to COVID-19 reported for each race and Hispanic origin group •Distribution of COVID-19 deaths (%): Deaths for each group as a percent of the total number of COVID-19 deaths reported •Unweighted distribution of population (%): Population of each group as a percent of the total population •Weighted distribution of population (%): Population of each group as percent of the total population after accounting for how the race and Hispanic origin population is distributed in relation to the geographic areas impacted by COVID-19

Reporting of new Aggregate Case and Death Count data was discontinued on May 11, 2023, with the expiration of the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration. According to the source, this dataset will receive a final update on June 1, 2023, to reconcile historical data.
