I just want to thank everyone who responded to my request for help. It was overwhelming and I got what I needed several times over. Will take a while to incorporate into the analysis. Really a testament to how many smart people there are out there taking the time to look at and think about this epidemic rationally.
I just can’t say thank you enough. I know some people are careful about being identified, and I don’t blame them after some of what I have gotten. So I am going to use initials and say thank you to everyone I may have missed or forgotten, but B.E., D.D., D.I., D.K. & S.K., C.G.
Update, I missed W.K. and C.P. as well.
Got it. I will get numbers from Oct 1 to Nov 16.
If others want to jump in and claim other date spans, the place to find them is the “Internet Archive” at this address: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/situation.html#dailyd1
I just sent my file to Kevin as well. The Covid Tracking Project site also has the screenshots of the numbers requested for going back one-at-a-time.
I will do the month of September.
I have wanted to ask what you needed help with. I am a retired engineer with lots of time on my hands. No particular skill or knowledge in epidemiology however.
I’ll get Aug 1 through Sept 30
