    A weird disembodied voice calmly explaining “this is a test of the earthquake warning system” even though my phone is silenced is prime horror material

    Fantastic look at what crime data is available, and the limitations of those datasets. Transparency! 🚀

    1. Most crime data is flawed 2. Crime stats are often misinterpreted 3. Poorly-translated crime data can lead to bad crime policy The data team made a v nerdy crime data guide to help address these issues (and empower YOU, the reader)

    By this standard, I have lost count of the sites that I have "hacked"

    Through a multi-step process, an individual took the records of at least three educators, decoded the HTML source code, and viewed the SSN of those specific educators. We notified the Cole County prosecutor and the Highway Patrol’s Digital Forensic Unit will investigate.

    Thank you to the team who kept the counts going. Thank you to the team who became our partners in the effort. Thank you to the readers and subscribers who checked the tracker daily to see where the trends are headed. Our watch has ended.

    So why end the count now? The state's tally is now close to what our team would produce with ours. Using the state data allows our teams to focus on analysis and pursue the next big story. That doesn't change our commitment to keep tracking COVID19 until this crisis is over.

    In fall of 2020, we proposed a collab with the LA Times who were doing their own count to better serve readers throughout the state. assembled a crew and established the California Covid Data Coalition. More on that historic collab here:

    Our first tally was kept by health reporter , but soon it was the work of developers, designers, producers and editors. A newsroom-wide effort. First tracker was built by awesome duo and . An essential tool that lives on:

    Why do the monumental work of visiting 61 health agency websites and recording cases and deaths 4 times every day? When we started this project in March 2020, doing it that way got more accurate numbers days ahead of the official state tally. Invisible, important journalism.

    After 17 months of counting here at , we've put our manual coronavirus count to bed. It's been almost a year after we started this partnership to count cases in California. We're relying on the state directly for that data going forward 📊

    Our California coronavirus tracker has updated again. All data sources are now automated. We've stopped conducting an independent survey of the state's 58 counties. For the first time in 17 months, we're now relying on the state's tally instead.🧵

    CHP and CalTrans are at the Wood St encampment in West Oakland this morning. CHP officers won't tell me what's going on, but its clear they're clearing the area and setting up barriers.
