How do you track the spread of COVID-19 in real time? That's the question Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger set out to answer when they created RT.live.
How do you track the spread of COVID-19 in real time?
That's the question Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger set out to answer when they created RT.live, a website that tracks the rate of infection in all 50 states.
They said it's meant to be an at-a-glance score for evaluating our progress in the fight against coronavirus.
"The goal for us was, what if we tried to boil it down to a single metric that tells you how things are going now," Systrom said. "Forget about forecasting for a second. What's happening right now?"
Systrom and Krieger are just two of the many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have been trying to create new tools to help track the spread of COVID-19, which as of Thursday has killed roughly 50,000 people in the United States and left 26 million without jobs.
. .
RT.live centers on an all-important number: One.
"This number is important because if I infect more than one person, that means the epidemic grows exponentially," Systrom said. "But if I infect less than one person, the virus actually quickly peters out."
"So all we're trying to do is say, look at this number. ... If it's above one, that's bad news. If it's below one, we're doing a good job."

I’m in Georgia. Gov. Kemp has caught a lot of flak from all the usual suspects. The numbers here seem to indicate that his opening things up is the right move.
There is lots of reason for cautious optimism given the numbers at the web site.
This is a good one. Don’t fail to look at the web site in my #1 comment, this is very good stuff.
That link brings me right back here.
That’s a rather recursive link...
Do it twice and swear both times. It’s a recursive link.
I did it three times. Cursed every time. I’m going to hell.
Twice in only a minimum requirement. You’ve exceeded expectations!
It shows that there’s no justification whatsoever for Michigan to extend their lockdown a minute longer
Is Texas on it? I did not see it there unless I missed it.
Nevermind I just found it.
Thank you.
Yes, shows how totally absurd Karen Half Whitmire’s actions are.
You spoiled it. I was enjoying these comments!
